Breakfast of Champions

You've probably heard people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. This a great cereal slogan and a great way to keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders. Think about it...if you eat dinner at 7pm on Tuesday, and skip breakfast on Wednesday, by the time lunch rolls around, it has been 17 hours since you last ate. Your body is clinging to everything you had for dinner and wondering when you will eat next.

The great thing about breakfast is that it can be whatever you want it to be. Really, eating just about anything for breakfast is better than skipping. Cereal, toast, yogurt, fruit, eggs or an omelet are all things that come to mind for a traditional breakfast. But, you don't have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. If you don't like breakfast foods, you don't have to eat them. You can have a turkey sandwich for breakfast if that suits you. Just remember, anything is better than nothing!

  1. You can't preach this enough. I know at the high school level when ever I was asked about weight lose the first question I would ask was, "what did you have for breakfast."

  2. I agree and I preach it to all of my students each day especially the students from low income families because most of them don't get to each much outside of school. Many of them their biggest meal is the school lunch with school breakfast being second because their families can't afford to feed them a good dinner.
