This post will be geared towards breakfast. I am picking this topic because breakfast is supposed to be the best meal of the day in order to get you energized and ready to take on the day! A lot of people who are dieting tend to throw out breakfast thinking it will help them lose weight quicker. In the long run, you may not lose any weight and rather gain weight. Not eating breakfast puts your body into starvation mode. This means your body will hold on to every calorie you put in your body (furthermore -- making it stay on rather than get burned off). Not eating a healthy, balanced, filling breakfast will also make you more likely to binge eat later on. So, all in all -- eat breakfast!
Today I'll pinpoint my two favorite options for breakfast. I love these options because: 1) You can mix them up and create tons of recipes within them in order to have a wide variety. 2) They're filling. 3) They taste great and make me feel healthy! :)
My first favorite option is smoothies. Smoothies are so versatile and taste great especially now that the weather is getting warmer! All you need to do is blend your favorite fruits, a little milk or juice, ice, and yogurt (opt) to get a delicious smoothie!
