Weight Loss Tip: Eat a good breakfast

Getting the day off to a good start with a hearty breakfast is more important than you might think.

Another big change I’ve made to my eating habits is to focus a lot more attention on my breakfast. Typically I would start the day with a couple of slices of toast (usually with Vegemite… non-Aussies probably wouldn’t understand!) and a cup of coffee. For the past couple of weeks I’ve tried to focus on making them a bit more substantial, healthier and longer lasting.

My main ‘goto’ breakfast that doesn’t require much effort or thought is: muesli, fruit (usually banana), a splash of milk and some yoghurt… mix it all together and yum!

I do mix it up a little, my aim is for two days a week to have a high protein breakfast (although keep an eye on the fat content). Scrambled eggs will be the main choice, but throw in a lean sausage or two, or maybe a small piece of steak and it’ll round it off to a wonderful breakfast that should get you right through to lunch with only a piece of fruit or two to kick you along mid-morning…. and that’s my goal for breakfast - eat something healthy and wholesome that will get me through to lunch with only a snack of fruit in between.

What do you have for breakfast? do you feel hungry again mid-morning?

    Porridge is really good for breakfast. It sounds so old fashioned, however. All you need is rolled oats and water. Put 1/2 Cup of rolled oats, with 1and1/4 Cup of Water into a bowl and then into microwave. Stir after a minute and give it another half minute, or until its how you like. This makes a large serving, and I usually half this recipe.

    I eat with a little milk, and chop a few dates and raisins onto the top to sweeten it. Do not use brown sugar! Natural sugars is best of course.

    This keeps me easily full to midday, and that rarely happens.

Got something to say?
