Breaking the Fast

Once upon a time, breakfast used to frighten me. Carbs, proteins and fats may have well been a four letter word. A pathetic piece of fruit or a sad little white rice cake would be eaten in fear on consuming too many calories too early in the day and sabotaging my weight.

Nowadays, some sense has been kicked into me, because Breakfast is Necessary Crucial.

Here are 2 of the ways I have dominated my morning meal:

Cookies for breakfast?....yes please!

The Fitnessista's Cookie Dough Cereal, I will never go back to the package after this!

And here's why Breakfast wins and should always, without question be consumed:

1. Helps you power through the day without any midday lag better than any form of caffeine ever could!



2. Adds more nutrients, vitamins and minerals, fiber, protein to your day (depending on if you choose something something substantial instead of the crunching on Captain)


3. Jets you through workouts and physical activities with amazing energy


4. Helps you maintain a lower percentage of body fat because you're less likely to mow down later on in the day

I am very thankful I discovered the deliciousness of breakfast. Just to reiterate what I learned...Breakfast won't attack your hips!
And personally, the quiet time in the morning while I eat my breakfast has become beneficial to my sanity!

What's your breakfast favourite??
