Breakfast is Still the Most Important Meal of the Day

According to Dr. Al Sears, author of "The Doctor's Heart Cure" not eating breakfast increases your risk of becoming obese by a stunning 450 percent.

That's huge!

The problem most of my wellness coaching clients and patients have not eating breakfast is the time crunch in the morning.

Worse yet, the sometimes stop by a fast-food restaurant or drive-thru and choose a food-like item from the menu.

My opinion is you are almost better off skipping breakfast if you are going to put high cholesterol and fat laden foods into your system.

Solution...

Get up earlier and cook some eggs, turkey bacon or make some oatmeal or cream of wheat.

If time is a factor prepare yourself a sandwich the night before of turkey or chicken. The real stuff not lunch meat.

For those who are vegetarians one can consider grains, juicing and fruits.

Make a protein drink the night before and store the drink in a shaker. You now have a high protein breakfast on the go. If you can add some fruit.

Other easy breakfast meals are hard-boiled eggs or natural peanut butter on grain toast.

If there's a will, there's a way!

Remember, eat breakfast every morning.

Stay well!
