Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We’ve all heard that before. But why? Why is breakfast so important?
When you wake in the morning, the last time you ate is usually anywhere from 9 to 12 hours ago. Your body’s glucose levels are low, and your body needs fuel. It is at this crucial moment that you decide to fuel your body, and this satisfies the body’s energy needs immediately, keeping it in fat-burning mode and preventing it from going into fat-storing mode.
But who has the time, the energy, the desire, or even the appetite to make a healthy breakfast? I know how it is, you sleep until you possibly can not sleep one second longer before you have to get out of bed and get ready for work. I don’t know about you, but I love sleep.
Plus, you might not even be hungry. It’s so easy to say “I’m not hungry, I’ll save money, and by skipping a meal, I’ll even lose weight.” Well, unfortunately this strategy doesn’t work. And how many times have you substituted a sugary latte or coffee drink for breakfast, then felt hungry late morning and ended up eating an unhealthy snack?
Last year I decided to start having a healthy breakfast before going to work, regardless of how my appetite was, and regardless of how much time I had on the clock before I had to get to work. So, I decided I was going to get my nutrients, my protein, my vitamins, my fiber, and start my body off right no matter what!
I was glad I did. At work, I had more energy and didn’t feel as tired. I really felt like my body’s equilibrium was in proper balance, and when it came time to eat lunch, I wasn’t starving and ready to eat anything I could get my hands on!
So how did I do it? I started drinking a healthy protein and nutrient dense shake for breakfast. It took me about a minute to make, and I could take it with me in my car on the way to work. Not cooking breakfast + not getting that coffee and late morning snack meant extra sleep and more money for me, all while taking care of my body and losing weight!
When the late morning came, I felt like eating a small snack, but was by no means very hungry. So, I’d just have something small like a tasty protein bar. I was still on track, I was getting my requisite 4 to 5 small meals a day, and feeling sustained energy. No crash! None of this 5-hour energy hype either (which contains a lot of preservatives and is no substitute for proper nutrition).
All it took was the decision to do it. I’m so glad I did. Please, please, please… don’t skip breakfast! Do yourself and your health a favor and give it the nutrients it needs after a good night’s rest.
Here’s some absolutely fantastic meal replacement shakes that actually work.
