What to eat for Breakfast?

Breakfast can be a sticky subject. My friends tell me they eat breakfast but it is never one that stops them from needing shots of caffeine later in the day. If you know how to create energy in the morning you won't need caffeine later! Some of them tell me that they would eat breakfast if they had more time. Still others tell me that they don't like eating breakfast at all because it makes them feel weird.

A health balanced Breakfast solves all of these issues...





After thinking about the different philosophies surrounding breakfast I came to these conclusions;

1) People have different different demands placed on them in the morning that heavily influence what type of meals they have, if any.

2) Most of the people I talk to every morning are more capable of listening to advertisements than the advice they get from their own bodies (common sense).

3) Everyone would like to eat better if it really made a difference in their lives.


Not every Breakfast is created equal!

No matter if you are trying to Loose weight, Gain Muscle, or Create Energy eat several meals throughout the day starting with a solid Breakfast!

"...your meals, especially breakfast, must be tailored to your unique body-type in order for your body to achieve an optimum level of performance!"

Breakfast comes in many different forms to fit your individual needs. The challenge is to make sure you are happy with what you are eating while increasing the nutritional density of your meals. That doesn't mean having a food addition to pop-tarts is OK as long as it make you smile! It means, for example, If you enjoy eating with others your meal needs to be not only nutritious but something that can be shared with friends and family. If you are always on the go your breakfast needs to be full of clean energy and stress reducing nutrients but it also has to have the ability to go where you go. Lastly your meals, especially breakfast, must be tailored to your unique body-type in order for your body to achieve an optimum level of performance!

What to eat?

"Experimentation and trial and error are the best methods to use in figuring out what you like and what your limits are. Breakfast is no different!"

OK, first off, I am not the type of person that likes to tell people what to do mainly because I don't like being told what to do. Experimentation and trial and error are the best methods to use in figuring out what you like and what your limits are. Breakfast is no different! With that in mind lets explore some options for Breakfast...


For those that have a social mindset...

"Try starting your day with remixes of traditional favorites."

Cook at home! Cooking at home gives you the freedom to express yourself in ways that that you may not be able to right now. Cooking at home gives you menu omnipotence allowing you to eat what you like when you want it. It is a way to provide tasty, clean, nutritious foods for yourself and others without breaking the bank. It will also allow you to tailor the food(s) to your body type. Nothing can encourage a healthy relationship with food than the admiration and appreciation from your family and friends enjoying the meals you create!

Try starting your day with remixes of traditional favorites. For example: Whole grain organic pancakes topped with lots of fresh cut strawberries (or whatever fruit you love) and honey with organic free-range (ethical) eggs and an organic rainbow side-salad (or fresh cut organic hash browns). If meat is a must try organic Turkey bacon! Turkey bacon can take on any flavor you want. As with any meal drink plenty of water before and after the meal to aid in digestion!


For those always on the go...

"No matter what your plan is add meal replacement supplements to your diet regimen!"

Always having to be somewhere posses a problem, STRESS. Stress is the number one factor in the increase in weight and sickness issues. Solution, EAT BREAKFAST! By making regular eating a priority instead of an exception will force you to organize your day. When you organize your day you will find time to get enough rest at night and during the day as well as times to eat! Having a detailed plan keeps you performing at the top of your game! Most people on the go are that way by choice. They most likely don't care for cooking. Thats OK because there are not a lot of cooked foods that can go with you everywhere and still be enjoyable and nutritious.

For those with a little more time in the morning, learn how to warm up some organic pastas, Rice, and Quinoa. They mix well with anything and are a great source of calories from low glycemic carbs (meaning they give energy without spiking your blood sugar and they won't stick to your more padded areas!). For those with less time I would recommend packing simple meals like organic rainbow salads. Many of these types of meals come pre-packed with everything you need. Look for the addition of nuts, herbs, and legums (beans) in the salad kits!

No matter what your plan is add meal replacement supplements to your diet regimen! Meal replacement shakes can be mixed up and enjoyed wherever you have to be! There is no shortage of shakes and powders in the market place which can be confusing. I'll make it simple, try YOR Health meal replacement (M.R.P.) shakes! I have lost over 90 pounds using their M.R.P. shakes (with proper diet and exercise). Adding YOR M.R.P. shakes to your diet plan increases the nutrient density of your total caloric intake for the day. Increasing nutrient density is the key to keeping bad weight off, creating energy, and achieving optimal performance!
