My biggest breakthroughs in learning about what my body needs came with the knowledge that Breakfast with Protein is KEY. So I pretty much always do have protein with breakfast.
So what’s my challenge?
I’ve also learned that I must give the first part of my day to God or I never get that quality time again, which includes putting off shower, getting dressed, breakfast, etc. until I have done that. I’m in full time ministry so this time with God is non-negotiable.
This means I often don’t eat for the first time until 2-3 hours after I get up, sometimes later.
Then I tend to eat too much (all good stuff, but a huge meal). And then I tend to skip lunch because I ate so late. The problems this causes are too few meals a day and creating a strong desire for too large meals or snack foods I would not normally choose.
My focus this week will be on eating Breakfast with Protein within 2 hours of getting up. One hour is optimal, but I’ve learned to start slow, set the bar low at first, etc.
Yikes, I better go eat breakfast!
What did you have for breakfast today? How long after you got up?
