You should know by now that breakfast is the most important meal you have by far. A good breakfast will stoke your metabolism, help you lose weight, give you tons of energy, and support your lean muscle and mood.
However, are you sabotaging your breakfast and loading up on sugars, processed sugars, and tons of extra calories?
I'm talking about things you can eat or drink. Let's take a look at some examples of products that can do these things to you.
Coffee creamer: This is one of the most favorite things for women. Coffee-Mate adds lots of flavor to coffee, but it also adds tons of sugar and extra calories which you don't want to consume. Use the sugar free version.
Jams: This is tough because toast and jam are great. It tastes great and jams have many benefits like antioxidants and vitamins. However, they too are packed with sugar and even high fructose corn syrup.
Processed Carbs: You have probably read about processed carbs before on this blog, and this is definitely a popular choice for breakfast. Whether it's bagels or toast, processed carbs will spike your blood sugar and add fat to your body.
There are some more, but these are the bigger ones.
Just pay attention to the small things you add to all your foods when you eat. It's like eating a salad... they can be really healthy for you, but depending on what you eat, you can make them terrible for you.
