I have to admit, I defnitely wasn't always a breakfast eater. In fact, I can still remember my mom throwing a bagel to me as I would jump into my car and drive off to high school, pleading with me that I needed to start the day out right! And I remember choking down that bagel, not feeling any better about the choice. But hey, you get older, you get wiser and you get tired, yep tired....TIRED of feeling sluggish in the middle of your day. You know the feeling? At first I thought..."Maybe more caffeine will fix the problem" But as we all know, a "quick fix" is never the answer. Then I came across an article in a fitness magazine that just made sense....."BREAKFAST the most important meal of the day!" Of course!
Now it took some time to get used to...planning, remembering, and eating breakfast for those of us "non-breakfast eaters" takes some time getting used to because you're adopting a new habit. But the benefits of this new habit, are well BENEFICIAL and SO IMPORTANT on your HEALHTY JOURNEY! And here's why:
