BUILD A

BETTER

BREAKFAST.

We’ve all heard the phrase “breakfast is the most important
meal of the day.” Eating a healthy breakfast can set the tone
for the rest of your day and help propel you toward your
weight loss goals. In the BEGINNER 1 program, we
talked about the importance of protein, carbohydrates and
healthy fats. Enjoy a balanced breakfast including each of
these to start your day right and avoid overeating or
snacking mid-morning.
Your metabolism slows when you are sleeping. Eating
breakfast can boost metabolism first thing in the morning
and get your body working. If you don’t eat breakfast, you
risk a blood sugar drop, which can leave you feeling hungry
and lacking energy. Worse yet, your body can shift into
starvation-response mode, slowing metabolism even further.
SOME PEOPLE WHO SKIP
BREAKFAST FIND THEY FEEL
LESS FOCUSED AND TEND TO
OVEREAT LATER BECAUSE
THEY FEEL OVER-HUNGRY.

It might seem like skipping breakfast is an easy way to cut
calories, but this can actually add up to some considerable
steps in the wrong direction. If you feel too sluggish to
exercise and overeat later, you’re much worse off than if you
have a healthy breakfast and feel energized to workout and
eat a balanced dinner.
