Why Eat Breakfast?
BOOST YOUR METABOLISM: EAT BREAKFAST !
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or so you
have heard. Yet, if you are like many people, you seem to
have no time and no appetite in the morning. Maybe you want
to save the calories for later on that day or perhaps you
dislike breakfast foods. However, if you want to boost your
metabolism, have more energy, or lose weight, eating
breakfast is one of the most effective ways to accomplish
those goals. By waiting until lunch to eat, your body will
assume you are fasting, since it may have been 12 or more
hours since you last ate. Fasting causes you to conserve
energy and slow your metabolism. Weight loss with a slowed
metabolism is a steep uphill battle. Plus, students and
employees who skip breakfast tend to be less attentive and
less productive throughout the day. You would not expect
your car to run on empty, so treat yourself as well as your
car. You know driving at a constant speed of 55 mph gives
your car the best gas mileage. Likewise, if you keep
yourself well fed throughout the day, your metabolism will
be at its best too, which means you have more energy and are
in calorie-burning mode.
The best thing about a "Friends Of the
River" breakfast is having the opportunity to share a good
meal and good times with friends
-see you there !
