I’ve been following 9 out of 10 recommendations to lower my cholesterol for three months. This morning I get my blood drawn to check the numbers but to prepare for that test I needed to fast for 12 hours.
Oh my gosh am I hungry. My system is very used to getting fed and fed well in the morning. It makes me wonder how people skip breakfast. Don’t do it people; eat a good breakfast and be fueled for the day.
Breakfast is an essential meal for your health. Studies have confirmed my own experience that by eating a good breakfast I eat less through the day and feel engaged in the day. Without breakfast your system is convinced that a famine has arrived and works desperately to store more fat away; not our goal.
Sure there are times, like when you get your cholesterol checked, that you need to fast. But other than those odd occasions, eat your breakfast.
