Burn the Fat – Still not Eating Breakfast? Then you aren’t burning the fat you could be…period!

If you’re new to the weight loss scene then you found that there’s a lot of information out there, especially contradictory information and sometimes you just don’t know what to believe. Here’s one thing that you need to believe if you want to jumpstart your weight loss. It as been proven over and over and over again.

Why is breakfast so important?

What I’m talking about is eating breakfast every single morning. Studies have shown that when you eat breakfast, you will end up eating less calories throughout the day. When you skip breakfast, you blood sugar drops as well as your metabolism, which means you stop burning any fat. What happens next is you become hungry because you have less energy and you are coerced into going up for that McDonalds run or eating the free donuts at your work. You get hit twice for only one mistake, that’s the worst part!

On the other hand, when you eat breakfast, your body feels satisfied and you have a lot more energy during the day. Do you know what this means? You are vitalized to do the things you need to do to lose weight, like working out or going for a quick run in the afternoon.

What’s your best choice for a morning breakfast?

Despite what you may think, the popular special K’s and total breakfast cereals aren’t as great as they were once thought to be. Yes, they supply you with vitamins important for the rest of the day, but they are also high glycemic foods. This meaning that when they are digested, they contain obscene amounts of simple sugars. And consequently simple sugars are always stored as fat and have negative affects on blood pressure, energy, and you overall health.

I know, I know, most of the “health foods” don’t taste good and that’s why you’ve been avoiding them. About a year ago, I found the ultimate solution to this problem. I like to call it “strawberry oatmeal.” And no I’m not take about the sugar filled Quaker Oats packages. What I do is buy bulk plain oatmeal and strawberry protein powder, specifically optimum nutrition’s 100% whey. I also use milk when making my breakfast because it gives it that rich creamy taste that is hard not to think about. There’s actually a science to this process to make sure that the protein doesn’t denature and to ensure that it tastes absolutely mouth watering. It’s the best breakfast I have ever had.

First, poor a cup of milk and heat it up in the microwave for 1 minute. Put you plain oatmeal in a bowl and poor the heated milk on top of it. Now, place the bowl of oatmeal into the microwave for another 30 – 40 seconds. When you take it out, its time to add your protein into the mix. Not only is this the healthiest breakfast around for you, but it honestly tastes amazing.

Whats the benefit of the protein powder?

I’m glad you asked! After almost 8 hours of not eating, your body is craving food, especially protein. Protein is important for keeping muscle mass and everyone knows that lean muscular bodies look the best on both men and women. Having that protein in the morning is going to ensure you aren’t losing muscle when you wake up and start dealing with the other things in your life.
