What do you usually eat for breakfast? Cereal?, Oatmeal? Breakfast burritos? Doughnuts? And how do you feel 2 hours later? Hungry, and can't wait for lunch? Tired, like you want to go back to bed? Yeah, I know. I was the same way. I want you to try this. This was a very important revelation for me. I hope it works for you. Please give it a try. I want you to have some lean protein first thing in the morning. If you cook a steak the night before, and you have some left over, just measure out 3 ounces and pop it in the microwave. That's just an example, you could also have chicken breast or pork loin or whatever lean protein works for you. I once heard that having protein first thing in the morning keeps your blood sugar level on an "even keel" the rest of the day. You won't have those peaks and valleys of tiredness and hunger. I don't know if that's true, but I tried it and it does work for me. It keeps my stomach content until lunch and I have a lot of energy and don't feel tired. Now I'm not talking about a protein shake or protein bar, those are supplements and didn't work for me. I'm talking about the real deal. My favorite breakfast is this: spray some buttered flavored cooking spray into a non-stick skillet, heat that up a little. Then add 2 ounces of cubed ham (you can find that already packaged, I find the bigger cubes have more flavor than the really small cubes). Heat that through. Then I add 5 egg whites and cook that to the consistency of scrambled eggs. Add a slice of tomato on the side. Then I'll have a banana or half an orange, or some type of fruit. This gives me a lot of lean protein for not that many calories. And I'm good until lunch. I tend to eat my cereals and oatmeals for dinner. Hey, it works for me. Please give it a try.
And please, make notations of what works for you and what doesn't. This is very important also.
