As I blog today I am enjoying pizza....yes! PIZZA! for lunch. HOWEVER, the "crust" is made of cauliflower and it is GOOD! (recipe to follow tomorrow)
So Bob's thoughts on breakfast....here we go....
"From the journal Peadiatrics: 'Breakfast eaters often had a higher daily caloric intake and yet also a lower BMI thatn their breakfast-skipping peers...[but there were[ inverse associations between breakfast frequency and BMI." Translation: the more often you skip breakfast, the more likely you are to be overweight.
When should I eat breakfast? I prefer that you eat it within an hour of waking and, of course, after a large glass of water.
OATMEAL: Oatmeal, along with all of it's heart-healthy attributes, also helps you lose weight - it's one fo those Nurses' Health Study foods we talked about. When you compare eating calorie-0matched oatmeal versus others cereals, you're more likely to reduce your waistline.
EGGS: The nutritional bad boy of the 80s and 90s, eggs have emergesy as a prized element of a healthy, weight conscious diet. They're low in calories, high in protein, and have zero carbs; in the case of egg whites there is no fat and only 20 calories a piece.
GREEK YOGURT: This is the closest thing I have to a magic ingredient. Now available under many brand names, gets my applause for a bunch of reasons. Guess which is first? That's right. It's tastes good. It can be used for just about anything, from dessert (with fruit, nuts, etc) to breakfast (with berries, or as a warm up to your eggs, as explained above), for dinner (add hebrs or spices or mustard and you've got a sauce for some fish and meats), or for a midday snack. Greek yogrurt is thicket than regualr yogurt; it gives you that great ice cream mouthfeel. It's got lots of healthy bacteria. But your reason for eating a lot of it is simple: it increases your feeling of satisfaction after a meal.
In a side box:
WAKE UP AND DO THESE THINGS:
Be prepared: if you know your morning will be rushed, make sure you've got lots of individualized proteins (yogurt cups or hard boild eggs), a grain (an oatmeal packet), and some berries in a plastic container. You don't get a pass from the rules just because you're busy.
Prep your fiber fruit: cut up the apple the night before and put the slices in an airtight container or a sealed plastic bag.
Protein Protein Protein: get up and eat your eggs or yogurt.
Oatmeal Oatmeal Oatmeal: get up and pop that packet into the microwave.
Water Water Water: fill the glass and put it on your bedside table the night before. Not kidding. Do it."
Today's Menu (yes I've been slacking on this, sorry!)
Breakfast: leftover banana choco chip pancakes
Snack: An Orange (I know I missed a protein)
Lunch: Leftover cauliflower crust sausage and mushroom pizza and an apple
Snack: Greek Yogurt (yes! They have it at Aldi too!) and an orange
Now to fill my 32 oz water cup (I've had 3 already today) and get back to work! Thinking of doing another cleanse again...wanna try something new this time....stay tuned :)
