In my quest to build an awareness about my sugar addiction, I have become 'aware' of my daily habits, starting at the beginning of my day with omitting breakfast which IS the most important meal of the day because it 'set up' your day. As stated in the name, this is breaking the fast, which signals to the body to re-stoke the metabolic fire. If breakfast is omitted, the body is messaged "Starvation". It stores the fat rather than burns it for fuel.
Great choices for breaking that fast? Complex carbs plus protein: Try low sugar (less than 4grams/serving) whole grain bread with low sugar almond butter or scrambled egg whites. You will be amazed at how well fueled you are for your morning with energy, mental clarity, focus and concentration and an even mood. And you won't NEED the 10A Starbucks run!
Its a start. At some point I will need to address the mug of Starbucks French Roast... Be well~
