(How) Do You Break-Fast?

How do you break your fast? When do you break your fast? Before lunch time, I hope?

Faced with countless tasks upon awakening, many forgo breakfast with the thought that they will save time and calories. We’ve ALL done it…

But the truth is: we make time for what’s important to us. So could we really squeeze out 10 or 15 minutes in the morning to prepare and eat breakfast? Probably.

But why should we? Unless we realize the benefits of doing so, there is little hope that we will add breakfast to our routine.

Three important reasons for eating breakfast:

1. Energy---a healthy breakfast will awaken your mind and body, helping you to keep alert through the morning.

2. Weight loss---eating something earlier in the day will prevent you from eating too much or the wrong things later in the day.

3. Performance---fueled with a nutritious breakfast, you will be equipped to take on the challenges you face at work or school.
