Protein and healthy! It will help keep you full and going longer. Eggs (cooked in good butter) and sausage or bacon. Add some cheese or spinach in your eggs for fun! The fat in the butter will help regulate your blood sugar levels so you’ll stay fuller longer and more alert without crashing. Avoid starch/carb heavy breakfast foods. They will make you feel full right away but you’ll crash not long after and be hungry. And only eat when you FEEL hunger. If you eat just because, your body isn’t going to utilise it properly. Best wishes!
It’s a great habit. I normally don’t eat breakfast in the morning, and this habit has helped me stay focused during the day and also kept me away from junk food.
I Have a bagel, cherries and cream cheese spread... It is delish and also on the healthy side!! But also, I dont want to do the 5:2 habit but I should I need motivation...help?
Eat your breakfast at the kitchen table every morning, not in bed or on the couch. It makes it feel more like a special part of the day.
Something which is healthy , tastes good to you , easily available and you do not have to spent time thinking about what to eat when you are rushing to work or other chores in morning
I think it’s a good idea and works for me, mainly because I don’t always feel hungry and may go most of the day without eating! And that is NOT good. I answered another very similar question a few weeks back. Do we have access to other questions and answers? Obviously I don’t know, so I will answer again here: You don’t have to eat a large breakfast, but some protein at least is good for “breaking your fast”. Sometimes I’ll have a cup of fat free or low fat cottage cheese with 6 oz of fresh berries (plus water, tea, milk, lots of fluids). Most berries come in 6 oz plastic clam shell packaging so there’s no measuring to do. I also need lactose free cottage cheese and add Stevia (natural sweetener) to sweeten the berries. It’s almost like eating dessert! Other times, I will have 98% fat free yogurt but it isn’t always enough or very hearty. Oatmeal with fruit will stick to your bones! And of course, there’re eggs, toast, bacon, pancakes, etc. I stay away from most cereals because of the added sugar and other stuff like preservatives. I hope this has been helpful.
Make sure you have something planned that you’re looking forward to having. For me it’s a healthy dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt (nothing artificial in it, and with actual vanilla pods/seeds) with fresh blueberries and strawberries, and a sprinkle of walnuts. That, with a nice espresso and a glass of grapefruit juice. Actually giving yourself time to set the table and sit down is helpful as well. Meal times are meant to be relaxing, not rushed!
To just start small. Don’t force yourself, but try every single day to just eat 1 thing in the AM with your water. & Be consistent!
I usually make green smoothie for breakfast which has also quite lot of protein. I keep it simple and use almost same recipe every morning so it’s fast and easy to do
