BREAKFAST

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.

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 yogurt have that effect), then simply have a hard-boiled egg.
  • If you’re not hungry, don’t eat.

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 it’s 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.
  • Full-fat plain Greek yoghurt with a handful of berries, and sweetener to taste. Have a boiled egg afterward if you are still hungry.
  • Keto / Banting / Low Carb bread toasted and topped with roasted cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms and finished with cheese melted under the grill, or just smashed avo on low carb toast.
  • Homemade grain-free granola with berries and full-fat plain Greek yoghurt.
