Healthy Start

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so starting off on the right foot will help you make better choices and maintain a healthy diet.  It's important to eat breakfast shortly after waking up in the morning to boot your metabolism into gear after a night of feasting on stores.  Your body needs energy to run for the entire day.

When choosing what to consume, try eating protein lower in saturated fat, high in fiber and nutrients, whole grains, and low fat or non-fat dairy/soy.  Real Simple shares some of their healthy breakfast ideas on their website.

This morning I made flour less, healthy pancakes in about two minutes flat.

  1. My girlfriend made these amazing Gluten free pancakes the other day, they were lemon blueberry pancakes and they were made using greek yogurt and oat flour. Best pancakes I've ever consumed. Must try! Great post btw it reminded me of being in class doing the nutritional facts.
