HEALTHY BREAKFAST (Feel Good and Control Your Weight)

CARBS-BASED BREAKFAST

In the morning, simple carbohydrates (white rice, white bread, sugary refined cereals, toast, etc.) cause an immediate surge of blood sugar level which results to a substantial emission of insulin. The insulin removes sugar from the blood turning its excess into fats. The result is decreased level of blood sugar, and craving for more carbs. This cycle repeats itself 2 to 3 times during the day. This vicious circle constitutes one of the major reasons for DIABETIS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, and EXTRA WEIGHT.

SKIPPED BREAKFAST

When you skip breakfast, blood sugar drops below the normal level, you experience cravings and a drop in energy. You again revert to simple carbohydrates to achieve a quick surge of blood sugar and to overcome hunger and experience increased energy. Simple carbohydrates will cause an immediate surge of blood sugar level and a substantial insulin emission. The insulin removes sugar from the blood turning its excess into fats. This cycle repeats itself 2 to 3 times during the day. This vicious circle constitutes one of the major reasons for DIABETIS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, and EXTRA WEIGHT.

BALANCED-PROTEIN-BASED BREAKFAST

Such a breakfast supplies our body with all vital nutrients and energy without increasing blood sugar and insulin levels. It helps to avoid dependence on carbs during the day. In this way, appetite stays under control, cravings for carbs (snacks, chocolate, pastry, junk foods, soft drinks, etc.) diminish and the body uses its stored fats to get more energy.
