Haven’t eaten since dinner? Then you've been fasting all night. Your metabolism has significantly slowed down and your blood sugar levels have plummeted. Now it’s time to break your fast.

It doesn’t have to be right when you wake up, but this is the most important meal of the day in my opinion. By breaking your fast (breakfast) you are kick-starting your metabolism, restoring your blood sugar, effectively improving your appetite control, and therefore improving your chances of consistently eating proper portions of food.

I always tell my clients if they don’t typically eat breakfast, it's best to reprogram their body to do so slowly, by introducing something small like an apple, piece of toast, etc., and working their way up to a balanced breakfast. Something is better than nothing.

Quinoa, if you haven’t tried it already, please do! It is packed with protein, vitamins and minerals, and fiber (which is sorely lacking in the American Diet).

Yes, it has lots of nutrients like folate, Vitamin E, magnesium, iron, and zinc but it also will have a major effect on lipid panelS as well, lowering triglyceride levels.

Give it a try, cook 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water, bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the water is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Serve it as a side dish with some salt or look up some creative recipes online to start slowly introducing this to your diet.

If you are trying to lose weight, use carbohydrates to your advantage.

Ingesting the proper balance of foods containing carbohydrates can fuel your body for exercise, improve your energy and focus, boost vitamin and mineral intake, and beyond.

Generally speaking, it's bad for our health to deprive our bodies of this essential macronutrient but beyond that, you are hurting your weight loss goals too.

Hope that helps you view carbohydrates differently!
