Eating breakfast regularly has improved my lifestyle more than I thought it would. I usually got up in the morning and had some coffee. The small cup of coffee had to hold me over until 3pm, if and when I was able to take a break. If I didn’t get a break, I wouldn’t eat until I got home at 9:30pm! If I was lucky, my coworkers and I would order breakfast. I’d usually get a really big, heavy breakfast sandwich. By the middle of the day, I was in a slump. I was tired either way—if I ate, if I didn’t eat. I’m usually not hungry as soon as I wake up, and I’m so busy at work that I can run through a 12 hour shift and completely forget to eat. I’ve noticed that since I’ve been trying to eat breakfast regularly, I have more energy for my shift. I feel more awake and less grouchy. I didn’t know what I was missing :)
I am more aware of what I eat en why it is important. Since I give myself time to eat breakfast, it has given me more time and stamina in the morning. Apparently I seem to enjoy making my breakfast and because of that I start my day happier.
Eating breakfast has actually never been a challenge for me. I appreciate the energy and the solid foundation for a productive day.
I’ve been eating a regular breakfast for a year now, it was after my husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Instead of medication we decided to control it with food. After much research and reading, i am a chef so it made things a bit easier, we managed to reverse his diabetes, we both lost weight and my husband is now out walking the dog with me. Breakfast has become my favourite meal of the day.
Eating breakfast before leaving the house has really helped me because I’m making better choices and I’m not ravenous by lunchtime. It’s helping to lose weight and overall I’m not stuffing my face with junk food. I work non traditional hours and my in time for work can change daily. Getting up 2 hours prior to my in time sets me up to make sure I have ample time to do my morning routine plus have a hot breakfast.
I already eat a real breakfast 90% of the time. If I have to eat and run I grab a yogurt. Living well is more than just one good habit
Gave me enough energy to be active in the morning hours without need for coffee. And I was not in need of snack at 10am, I felt full until 12:30-13:00. I prepared healthy breakfast full of protein, which is also motivating me to take further steps to a healthier lifestyle.
it has helped me feel more energized throughout the day. of course, if i eat an unhealthy breakfast i.e. donuts, then i will feel hungry and low on energy. but a healthy breakfast helps me immensely throughout the day.
When I nourish my body with wholesome foods I attain a clear state of mind and have energy to conquer the days task. I am loving my morning routine because it is giving me a greater sense of control and elevated mood that lasts throughout the day. A balanced meal keeps me motivated to care for myself in new ways.
Before I started using fabulous, I would scarf down a cliff bar or a yogurt at my desk at work while I checked my email. When I was done, I hardly felt like I’d eaten anything - I wasn’t paying attention, and I missed it. Now I cook tasty things at home and sit down at the table to eat without my email! I’m eating better foods and I’m enjoying them more - and I don’t get as hungry before lunch, even though I’m eating earlier. This is awesome!
