Breakfast

What is breakfast? It is the most important meal of the day and the first meal taken in the morning after a night's sleep.

Why is it important to eat breakfast? It keeps your metabolism running since your body is not into a " starvation" mode. And if you skip breakfast, you tend to overeat. Right?

Breakfast does not have to be elaborate. It can just be a hard boiled egg, whole grain toast and fruit juice. It can also be a bowl of whole grain cereal with berries and low fat milk. Sounds good? Sounds too healthy for me! What do I want for breakfast? A Western omelet with hash browns, toast with jelly and coffee! Yummy! But you cannot eat this everyday or you might turn into a big giant person!

How about oatmeal? I heard that many people who eat oatmeal for breakfast regularly has lost weight! I can eat oatmeal once but not everyday! Or how about oatmeal raisin cookies with chocolate chips??? Yum!! You are deviating again from the topic! Oh, oh, sorry. Back to breakfast.....

How about cereal? It is okay as long as you eat the healthy kind! I read that the cereals are losing business. Is it because people just get their breakfast from the fast food place?? It is faster and maybe cheaper? Faster maybe...cheaper...I doubt it.

Well, folks, be sure to eat a healthy breakfast tomorrow! It should include protein and plenty of fiber to satisfy hunger and keep us feeling full until lunchtime! Comments, anyone???

Eat a healthy breakfast....and have a great day!!!!
