Breakfast has always been an "issue" for me. I've just never been one who woke up and has been hungry. This just got worse when certain meds that I take cannot be taken with food - and I have two sets of those. Basically, if i take the pills right when I get up there's an hour delay of when I can eat.
Of course everyone tells you that you have to eat breakfast to rev up your metabolism. My WW leader was sooo adamant that I had to eat right away. After much research, consultation with my doctors, I've learned different. As long as you eat within 3 hours of waking, you'll get the same benefits of revving up your metabolism. So, if you're not a good "breakfast person" either ... it's okay to wait a while! Now breakfast isn't a stress out affair and I can actually enjoy it!
So along with this, I thought I'd share what I had - and maybe help others who are stuck in a breakfast rut ... or just don't know what to eat in the mornings!
This morning I had
1 Serving of Lower Sugar Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal (2 pts)
5 Grams of chopped walnut (1 pt)
1 container of FF Chobani Greek Yogurt, Vanilla flavored (2 pts)
3 oz of raspberries (zero points due to all the fiber, but 44 calories)
This was really filling it had 8.8 grams of fiber & 5 pts .. so a pretty good way to start the day!
So what did you have??
