When I decided to get healthy, one of the
actions I was recommended by the gym was to eat breakfast.
The advantages are that it kick starts your
metabolism after, maybe, 12 hours of no food, gives you energy to start the
day, and stops you feeling hungry through the morning (and possibly then eating
something unhealthy on the run…)
I’m not taking a full English though, its
not permission to have a fry up…. you need to be mindful that it should be
healthy! When I first started on the
healthy path, I would eat Greek yoghurt with a little honey. Total 0% Greek yoghurt was my choice as it
also has a high protein content, which keeps you fuller for longer.
I changed to porridge oats later on, made with hot water, again with
a little honey, and some blueberries or strawberries. (Go for rolled oats, not the instant
kind) Oats have a low GI (Glycemic
index) which means they are absorbed into the blood stream more slowly, keeping
your blood sugar level steady and being better for your health.
You could choose other options, fruit is
good, so is poached, scrambled or boiled egg.
Heres a good article about research into
breakfast habits….
