How to Eat Breakfast to Destroy Cravings & Lose Fat
How many times have you heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?
How about the one that eating breakfast will help you lose fat?
Nothing new, right?
But have you heard that how and what you have for breakfast can either cause you to gain or lose fat.
That’s right. Do it wrong and the most important meal of the day can become your worst nightmare when it comes to losing fat.
So to help you reach your fat loss goals, I have come up with four easy to follows breakfast rules. And here that are:
1.) Eat Breakfast Every Day. To get rid of blood sugar lows, which cause you to crave junk food, make sure you start every day with a healthy breakfast. And I mean every day not just when you have the time. Schedule it into your calender and get up a little earlier if you have to. Just do it.
Eating breakfast does a lean body good.
2.) Have breakfast as close to waking as possible. To get the most fat loss bang for your buck, make sure to eat something within 30 minutes for the time you wake up. Not hungry in the morning? Eat anyway. You have gone eight hours without eating (or should have) trust me your body is hungry. If you don’t feed your body now say hello to junk food cravings later in the day. Try resisting the doughnuts in the break room then.
Have something healthy shortly after you do this.
3.) Feel fuller with fiber. Make sure that your breakfast contains high fiber, complex carbohydrates. Things like whole grain (low sugar) cereals, non-instant oats, and/or high fiber fruits. You can even throw in some vegetables if you want. Not only will the fiber help you feel fuller but it will also help you keep your sugar craving to a minimum.
Yum. Fiber.
4.) Add the power of protein. Just like fiber, protein helps slow down digestion and prevent any lows in your blood sugar which can lead to cravings. Fewer cravings = fewer pounds = happier you.
Always make sure that your breakfast contain some protein. Not sure about the shellfish though.
Follow these rules and you will be crushing craving and shedding fat in no time.
