Diet Hack: The right breakfast keeps you on track all day
June 23rd, 2005
Yeah, yeah, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, blah, blah, blah.
We’ve heard it a million times, and there are those who get the message, and those who don’t. But if you eat breakfast, what you eat can have a profound effect on how well and/or easily you control your eating throughout the day.
The typical american breakfast contains thing like toast, cereal, and juice that, even when “healthy” can cause bad hunger pains in just a few hours. Worse, anecdotal evidence suggests that a carb-laden breakfast will increase appetite throughout the day.
Better choices (depending on the plan you are following) would include either:
- items with a bit of fat and a healthy supply of protein (eg: turkey sausage, egg white omelette),
- items with a healthy supply of fat and protein (eg: crustless quiche, omelette), or
- High fiber grain products, berries and certain melons
sugar-free yogurt should work on most plans. If not on a low-carb plan, bananas may also be a good addition.

It’s funny, I’ve heard recently of nutritionists who recommend for diabetics that they avoid fruit and cereal and milk for breakfast and stick to eggs! So at least breakfast may be starting to have more of a consensus as a prescribed low-carb meal, if you can believe it!
