But there are some rules a good breakfast so that your diet program optimal. Eating in the morning or breakfast, can increase the body's metabolism and help burn more calories throughout the day. Breakfast with dense fiber such as cereals will help make you feel full longer so that it can reduce appetite at lunch.


4 breakfast rules for the diet program

  1. Breakfast 1 hour after waking: We know that regular breakfast will help control your weight, especially if you're on a diet. But the most appropriate time for breakfast is also very important. Breakfast an hour after waking known is the best time because it will help keep the body's circadian rhythms and increase metabolism early.

  2. Contains a lot of protein: breakfast menu selections high in protein such as egg whites, yogurt, grains, and legumes are low in calories will give you more energy than eating breakfast menu in the form of sweets. You can try to make black bean omelet (omelet mixed with black beans) are higher in protein.

  3. Contains at least 8 grams of fiber: The key to losing weight is to eat fibrous foods that can make you feel full longer until the time at your next meal. For breakfast at least about 8 grams of fiber needed to help reduce hunger until lunch schedule. You can prepare a fruit smoothie containing 11.7 grams of fiber or a bowl of cereal that contains 8 grams of fiber or more.

  4. Not too many calories: It is important to keep the number of calories your breakfast between 300 and 500 calories. Pililah breakfast menu is low in calories, such as omelette with vegetables, fresh fruit, wheat toast. Cereals could also be the right choice, but you need to look at the number of calories on the nutrition labels commonly found on every packaging of food products.
Although the breakfast is a simple activity that is beneficial, but often overlooked. Although most people already know about the benefits and advantages of the breakfast habit, but they always miss it for various reasons. If you are currently in a diet program, then try to familiarize activities breakfast, of course, with menu selection of high protein so that the benefits obtained more optimal.


High protein breakfast benefits

1. Protein is a source of energy: In our everyday lives, there are many activities that should be undertaken. All of that, if lived with passion and optimal power, it will help the process of burning calories in the body. Unlike the case if we do not have the power, then we tend to prefer to laze lazy and lacking the spirit in carrying out activities that had become a liability.
    
2. Foods high in protein has a high fiber content: Foods high in protein generally have a high fiber content. And the fiber content is what makes our stomach feel full longer. So, besides you get a power supply that supports the benefits of high-protein breakfast to keep slenderness.
    
3. Protein does not make fat: If we've got a high intake of protein breakfast, then we can resist the urge to eat up a relatively long time. To prove it, you can try for a regular breakfast every morning, and note, appetite that you have during the day, the levels are certainly smaller than it would be if it did not get used to the breakfast.

Southwestern Scrambled Eggs

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! Now it's back to the grind… and trying to lose that holiday weight! {insert sad face here}

This recipe is deceiving because it's actually pretty healthy, but it looks gloriously sinful as it's piled high on a plate and topped with sour cream. And, it's just a little spicy, but we all know that a little heat in the morning can rev up your metabolism for the rest of the day. Goodbye holiday love handles! ;) My favorite part of this breakfast is the kick of the jalapeño which is complimented nicely by the creaminess of the avocado. The protein content will also keep you feeling full well into lunch. I promise you that you won't feel deprived with this breakfast, but you're getting quite a wallop of veggies in every bite.

I'm excited to share this because it is one of my absolute favorite breakfast dishes. The first time I made it I loved it so much that I made it every morning for a week. But what's not to love: It's simple, it's easy and it's delicious!

It's also Gluten Free (in case you were worried).

What You Need:
Serves 2
  • 4 eggs 
  • 2 large or 3 small pieces of bacon, chopped 
  • ½ small jalapeño, diced finely
  • ¼ yellow onion, diced
  • ¾ cup fresh spinach and/or arugula 
  • ½ tomato, diced
  • ¼ c shredded cheddar cheese, sharp
  • ½ large avocado, cubed
  • Optional: Salsa, sour cream
Cook the bacon per the instructions and set aside to cool, then tear into small pieces. If you want to save some calories use Turkey bacon and cook it in the oven! 

Over medium heat, sautee the onions and jalapeño. Once soft, add the spinach/arugula and cook until wilted. Toss in the diced tomato.

Whisk the eggs in a bowl right before you put them in the skillet-- it'll help them stay a bit fluffier. Add to the skillet with the vegetables and lower the heat to medium-low. I like to cook my eggs low and slow.

Add the cheese and half the bacon right on top of the mixture. Salt and pepper per your tastes.

Stir them in the skillet every minute or so until they are cooked through.

Serve immediately and top with the remaining bacon, salsa, avocado, and sour cream.

Bon appetite! And I hope 2014 brings you lots of good food and happiness (which are basically the same thing).

7 Paleo Breakfast Ideas (Gluten Free)

I have always been a foodie, but it took a bit of time after I went paleo to really start to play with recipes and make my own creations. The hardest transition was breakfast because I had always eaten carb heavy meals first thing in the morning and with paleo it seemed like egg "muffins", scrambled eggs and fried eggs were going to be my life.  I needed to figure out new, improved ways to make breakfast!


Here are some of my favorite recipes. I hope you like them!
