"I can't eat when I first wake up", "I don't have time for breakfast" . These are just 2 of many excuses I hear for why people skip this vital meal in attaining your goals.
When you break down the name of this meal it's Break-fast. So by having it you break the fasting your body has been doing since you've gone to sleep. As you sleep your body is healing and repairing the tissues damaged from the previous day. So by morning your body is in a catabolic state, which basically means its breaking down muscle tissue for energy, and your metabolism has slowed down to a screaching halt.
How do I stop these horrible events????
EAT!!!!!!!
Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, but its probably the easiet to have. You need 2 things from breakfast , tissue repair (protein) and energy (Carbohydrates and/or fat). how do you do this, well its pretty simple, have some eggs and toast, or oatmeal and a protein shake, pancakes and eggs, a breakfast burritto ( no, not from Mc'Donalds lol).
So when you get up, get some food in you to start your day off right, and you're taking the first steps to your goals.
PS. for those 2 excuses from the begining.........Get up and do your cardio or shower and get dressed so your stomach is "settled" enough to eat, and the other, get up earlier or make your food the night before.
Remember eat to succeed, not to fail
Also to add to this, is if your a smoker which kidda defeats the whole healthy thing but some of us are, don't just get up and smoke.
ReplyDeleteI found if ya can put it off for atleast 20 mins after waking off, you are hungry. Thats the time to get your eats into ya, then have your smoke, if you smoke you will understand this.
Like M-Rod says, you have to have breakfast, it makes your matabolizum fire up(sorry bout the spelling) ya want your body to know you are going to eat soon, not 3 days from now, thats what makes your body hold on to the fat.
