The food choices you make in the morning affect the way you feel all day. Whether you skip breakfast and fast until lunch or eat first thing in the morning, avoiding sugar and carbs is your key to steady energy all day.
So what can you have for breakfast?
WE SAY – Protein, veg, and fat for steady energy and a happy gut. Protein gives you steady energy and brainpower while keeping you full for hours. Low starch veggies like greens, cucumber, and cauliflower offer fiber and micronutrients like magnesium, iron, and folate. And don’t skimp on the fat! Fat from grass-fed ghee or tofu or grass-fed meats will help your body absorb critical micronutrients from your food.
