Breakfast Time

Did you know that breakfast is the biggest and the most important meal of the day?

Some people skip breakfast for different reasons like trying to loose weight or not feeling hungry when they wake up. However, if you want to loose weight, keep it off and most importantly maintain a healthy weight for life, you MUST eat breakfast.

• Breakfast speeds up your metabolism. If you do not feed your body, your metabolism slows down and your body thinks that its okay to conserve energy it has because it is not getting any through nutrition.
• Breakfast helps you not to overeat later in the day. If you do not eat breakfast, you tend to overeat later in the day. By lunch time, you are so hungry that you choose the foods that are filling and higher in calories to satisfy your cravings. 
• Breakfast keeps you in a good mood all day:) Eating breakfast will regulate your blood sugar levels through lunch time which play an important role in mood and give you lots of needed energy. You are more likely to be happy once your tummy is full. 
• Breakfast also improves your memory and concentration. If you are hungry, you will have issues remembering things and will start loosing an ability to concentrate. You will start feeling dizzy, having headaches and being grumpy.

It doesn't matter what you have for breakfast as long as you eat something. It can be eggs, oatmeal, fresh berries, yogurt, etc. Pick the foods that you enjoy and stock up on them:)

How about some "STEAK AND EGGS for breakfast this morning?

4 oz flank steak

salt olive oil

cooking spray

2 eggs

1 whole wheat tortilla

1/2 cup cooked lentils

2 slices of any cheese. I got pepper jack.

1 tablespoons of salsa

*** Cook eggs to your liking. Mine are scrambled:)

*** Cook steak to you desired temperature. It shouldn't take longer than 10 min.

*** Toast your tortilla and put it on a plate, top it with lentils, cheese, eggs and salsa on top. 

*** Thinly slice your steak!

BON APPETITE :)

***Steak helps build muscle mass which helps in your calorie burn. Steak, eggs and lentils provide 30 g of metabolism revving protein per serving. 

This breakfast will certainly keep you full:)
