Tip #9 'Meat and Nuts Breakfast'...

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, by skipping breakfast you increase your risk of obesity by 450%! When you typically have carbohydrates for breakfast you secrete serotonin which is an inhibitory hormone so it will make you feel tired and affect your mental focus and neurotransmitters throughout the day (the afternoon slump). The meat allows for a slow and steady rise in blood sugar. The nuts provide a great source of healthy smart fats that are great neurotransmitters and allow the blood sugar to remain stable for an extended period of time. My clients rave about the increased mental acuity and focused energy they derive from this food combination.
