I would encourage you to unlearn everything you were ever told about breakfast. “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day” was a marketing campaign launched by cereal manufacturers to promote eating sugary foods for “energy”. Fact.
I start each morning with a glass of warm water with the juice of half a lemon, and thirty minutes later, I will have a glass of celery juice.
Only if I am hungry, do I have breakfast, and its usually one of these options:
- Scrambled eggs with half an avo and mushrooms
- Two boiled eggs with grilled tomato
- Overnight breakfast cereal with full fat plain Greek yoghurt
- Keto / Banting toast with Tuna melt / or Portabello mushrooms with tuna melt
- Two egg omelette with bacon bits, spinach and feta cheese
- Full fat plain Greek yoghurt with a handful of berries, and sweetener to taste. Have a boiled egg afterwards if still hungry
- Keto / Banting bread toasted and topped with roasted cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and finished with cheese melted under the grill.
- Homemade grain free granola with berries and full fat plain Greek yoghurt

One glass of water with lemon tea or coffee | Plain yoghurt with sweetener to taste and handful of blueberries, sunflower seeds and chai seeds (sprinkled with cinnamon) – 1 boiled egg (if you are still hungry) One glass of water with lemon tea or coffee | Portabello mushrooms topped with pilchards (or tuna) and melted cheese under the grill.

Tips:
- Always have a glass of water with lemon first thing in the morning. Remember, you have been asleep for the past 6-8 hours with no fluids, so your body is slightly dehydrated. A glass of water first thing in the morning helps to hydrate the body.
- If you feel your breakfast is not enough to sustain you (sometimes just fruit and yoghurt has that effect), then simply have a hard boiled egg.
- If you’re not hungry, dont eat.
