Don’t Eat This for Breakfast

It’s almost impossible to burn body fat throughout the day, if you don’t get breakfast right.

It’s literally the meal that has the most impact on your day in terms of losing weight and having energy until it’s time to relax that evening.

But, for one reason or another this is the meal that I’d say close to 99% of people struggle with and end up eating poor food choices that effect the rest of their day.

Most people just grab some type of baked good (bagel, muffin, toast, English muffin, etc.), a glass of juice, a piece of fruit, and maybe a coffee. And for those that don’t opt for the processed bread-based item they typically choose cereal.

Truthfully, it doesn’t matter too much which item you go with if it came from a processed grain (even “whole grains”) especially when it’s washed down with bottled juice. The reason for this is because the inflammatory rating (IR), glycemic index (GI) and load (GL) of your mainly carbohydrate breakfast is going to be outrageously high.

For example let’s take a look at this average breakfast:

1 cup of cereal: 64 carbohydrates

1 medium apple: 25 carbohydrates

1 glass of orange juice: 33 carbohydrates

This typical breakfast delivers over 122 carbohydrates (with an averaged GI of 64) coming predominantly from sugar and fast digesting, high glycemic starches. And when you eat predominantly high GI foods at a meal you’re no doubt going to spike your blood sugar levels.

This almost certainly guarantees you’ll be storing all that sugar as fat, and with the surge of blood sugar comes an outpouring of insulin to pull that sugar out of your blood, which will most likely lead to a crash right around mid-morning… leaving you searching for another coffee, or processed baked good to artificially boost your energy levels again.

And so the cycle continues throughout the day…

We’ll talk about how you can enjoy natural energy and fat loss throughout the day in a moment, but for now let’s see why most people opt for such poor breakfast choices.

Typically, the excuses are:

* Woke up late
* Not enough time in the morning
* Running late for a meeting
* Had to feed the kids
* Had to get the kids ready for school
* Preparing for the day’s work
* No good food items in the house
* Not really that hungry
* Don’t know how to cook
* Enjoy cereal or baked goods for breakfast

Of course, this is just a sample of the excuses and the list goes on and on…

Now, I’m not saying these aren’t good excuses. Each one of them is valid and has some merit to it, but that doesn’t mean it has to keep you from achieving your health and weight loss goals.

Remember, if you want to change your health, energy, or body shape you need to change what you’re currently doing that has gotten you to where you are right now.

Typically, the fastest changes come from tweaking your nutrition and then the long-term permanent changes in body, mind, and energy come from improving your metabolism through exercise.

To start out I highly recommend you base your breakfast around a protein source.

Now, I’m now advocating you eat 50 grams of protein for breakfast, but you do need to find a way to eat food without spiking your blood sugar levels and the best way to do that is through fibrous carbohydrates like vegetables and some fruit, as well as a good quality protein source like eggs.

And of course, if you absolutely can’t wake yourself up 20-30 minutes earlier in order to prepare a wholesome breakfast you can opt for a protein shake to start your day.

As part of my nutrition plan for my clients I make certain they have a back up plan in place, and this means that when they’re running late or they’re going to miss a meal they always have a protein shake they can turn to.

This enables them to not have to make a poor food choice like grabbing fast food on the run, which will crush their weight loss goals and energy levels for the day.

Check out my “Antioxidant Protein Shake” recipe video below if you haven’t gotten a chance to see it yet. It will give you an example of how fast and easy it can be to make a healthy breakfast in less than 5 minutes.

I hope this article helped to point out how the average breakfast is not only hurting your weight loss goals, but it is also driving down your energy levels and health.
