Yes! You heard me correctly! I've made this error in the past of skipping breakfast and reducing my calorie intake to the minimal and have seen time and time again with friends and family and from experience, "lose weight" but a matter of fact, is you're just losing muscle when you skip meals and your calorie intake it too low.
Many people always complain that they can't eat breakfast or they aren't hungry in the morning or food feels to heavy to start their day. Well, you have to know what to put into your body, what times of the day to eat and so forth. I'm not suggesting to eat a hearty breakfast of steak, potatoes and eggs first thing before you start your day, you need to fuel your muscles and stimulate your metabolism.
I love breakfast and I love to eat out at diners and restaurants. I love big meals too. What works for me to make my 5-6 meals a day and not skip breakfast, is having a glass of lemon water and a cup of green tea to start my day. Then I follow with a green protein shake.
I have purchased a protein powder by Olympia Labs that is called Ultimate Greens 8 in 1.
About this item:
Ultimate Greens Protein 8 in 1 with hemp, rice & pea protein is a great tasting, nutrient-rich, complete, whole food drink mix that contains a blend of eight products in one!
Ultimate Greens provides an unbelievable 13,000 ORAC units per serving!Ultimate Greens Protein 8 in 1 with Hemp, Rice & Pea Protein contains whole food multivitamins, enzymes, patented fiber, antioxidants, gentle cleansers & detoxifiers and probiotics in addition to a whopping 20 grams of protein per serving! No other Greens drink compares. Not only have we provided optimal protein content but we've done it like never before. We blended Hemp, Rice & Pea Protein Isolate, three unique, plant-based , hypoallergenic proteins, in just the right ratio to produce an easily digested, great tasting protein source that is perfectly suited for everyone, especially for those with special and allergic dietary concerns.Triple Blend of Hemp, Rice & Pea Protein - Most greens drinks available today contain little or no protein, only vegetable and fruit powders which can contribute to fluctuating blood sugar levels. When they do contain protein, it is usually derived from soy, rice, eggs, or dairy which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. Adding this triple blend of hypoallergenic, plant-based proteins addresses these concerns and ultimately provides one of the most complete greens drink available.
Features:
Gentle detoxification and cleansing; Whole food multivitamins
Proprietary hemp, pea protein, rice blend extra fiber
Probiotics; pH Balanced Enzymes; Branch Chain Amino Acids
Antioxidant Protection; 13,000 Antioxidant ORAC Units (per serving); Gluten Free
As you can see I'm in love with this stuff. This is my first "meal of the day." If you can't stomach food in the morning, I highly recommend this protein powder to not only give your body the nutrients it needs but to fuel your muscles, give you energy and clean your digestive system.
My "second" meal of the day is then my whopping breakfast. I love pancakes and French toast. Instead of buttermilk or white bread, I substitute with buckwheat (see my post about the benefits of buckwheat) and/whole grain bread for French toast. I also have a size of eggs, which means more protein and a side of fruit, for my antioxidant fix. That is my complete second meal of the day! It's easy, I'm full and satisfied and I ate healthy!
So no more excuses that you can't have breakfast! If those two things don't work for you, opt for Greek yogurt or oatmeal!
