Foods you shouldn't be eating for breakfast
We all know that we should eat well in the morning so as to hold us for the rest of the day.
There are several benefits eating a nice full breakfast such as: we are not starving the whole day and waiting until lunch time to eat; we consume less quantity of lunch and dinner since we are feeling satisfied full after breakfast. But still eating breakfast is not enough to have energy and wellness. The key to succeed this is the correct combination and chooses of foods you make such as:
- Trade smoothie or juices : If the first thing you do after waking up is opening the fridge and taking a bottle of smoothie, the whole thing is wrong. Most of the juices that you boy have lots of sugar and drop your blood sugar and therefore you will have less energy. Better to prepare by yourself a nice smoothie with fresh fruits and veggies that contain less sugar than those.
- Cold cuts: If you like them so much, then buy them and consume them but not only on a daily basis. Processed foods like ham, bacon, sausage are high in sodium which dehydrates you and raise your blood pressure. Food that contain too much salt worse migraines in case you are in pain often.
- Sugary cereals: Always read the labels; check the sugar quantity in cereals. Don't be drifted that cereals are very healthy as many people say. Most of them if you read the label on the box are rich in sugar and calories and low in fiber.
- Energy drinks: You start your day by working out, which is fine and very good indeed, but if you drink an energy drink after it, then your whole work out has gone for nothing. And of course the reason is that they are rich in sugar, which at the beginning will make you feel energetic afterwards you will feel low. Better consume a nice healthy breakfast after working out to keep your energy in high levels.
- Yogurt with fruits: Again always read the labels before buying something; Are full of calories; Better eat Greek yogurt with 2% fat, put some honey in it and nuts.
- Whatever has processed carbs: Donuts and sugary foods are not suitable for breakfast. Neither muffins although you may love them and you would love to eat them for breakfast the result will be to feel sleepy and starving in few hours.
- Ready/Prepared sandwiches: Going to work in the morning may be easy for you to stop by a bakery or a café and take a sandwich but honestly is not healthy at all. You may thing that you have excellent choices such as egg, turkey but still processed meat and the sauce they use in those sandwiches are full of calories. I am sure when you open the fridge you can find things to prepare a nice, healthy sandwich at home; Just wake up a bit earlier in the morning.
