Breakfast: I Say Yes!


Your body can adapt to anything, even breakfast. And it should---we've tested it out, and even my boyfriend says it's better to eat a bigger, denser breakfast, and then slowly decrease the size and complexity of meals throughout the day. You'll find it's easier to wake up in the morning. (Less hard on your digestive system!) And devoting yourself to breakfast will get you started on a good fuel regimen, which, like any good habit, is key for order!

Try oatmeal or whole grain toast with almond butter, egg whites and plain yogurt with honey as a friend to your coffee. That kind of breakfast will stick with you like student loan debt (except in a fibery, energizing way!) and leave you more likely to choose vegetables, fruit and lighter proteins later in the day.

(We also leave two or three hours between the time we eat our last food and the time we hit the hay.)
