Breakfast Of Champions

Weight loss begins with breakfast. Nutrition is a key to weight loss and weight maintenance, so I will emphasize breakfast ideas that will help you achieve this health endeavor. Want to lose and maintain weight? Lets talk breakfast ideas to start your day.


Within a half hour from waking, you should consume your first meal. Meal of choice: yogurt! Plain yogurt to be exact. So by now many will be turned off by the plain yogurt, but ALL other yogurts will be high in dreaded sugars. Add a small amount of maple syrup to your yogurt and the sweetness becomes intense. Pure maple syrup is maintained energy rather than spiked energy that comes from refined sugars.


Within two hours of your first meal, will be your next meal. I suggest 3 alternatives. Cereal, Oatmeal, or Eggs are my favorites. Cereal of choice is Fiber One. Add blueberries and this cereal becomes a powerhouse of needed nutrients and antioxidants.


To turn oatmeal into a delicious healthy powerhouse, combine banana, powdered cacao and honey to it. Eggs can be hard boiled and added to avocado with sea salt, black pepper, sriracha sauce, lemon juice and hunger will elude you for a good part of the day.


Seeds, nuts and fruits are powerful snacks that can be used for weight loss. These should be consumed within two hours of your above meal. Your morning meals are effective when you start with a combination of protein and carbohydrates.

Health Week Tips-Day 2

You know that people are happier on Fridays than they are on Sunday. On Friday they anticipate their weekend, on Sunday they anticipate their workweek. Yes people have strange perceptions about what makes them happy.

Super Food of the day: Summer Squash. Find great recipe ideas here, here, here, and here. Lately, I've been on a sauteing  kick lately so this one is up my alley. I like sautéing most of my veggies.

How would you like to go on the dark chocolate diet? The chocolate must be cacao. Also it must be eaten sparingly for the most benefit.

Coffee, much like alcohol, keeps being on again/off again when it comes to health. Just like alcohol, moderation is the key. Here are some more benefits of one cup a day.

Exercise tips of the day: Easy exercise tips would be an interest to anybody. The information is priceless.

Must have home exercise equipment: Resistant Bands. These are affordable and you can build your resistance and muscle with easy moves.

I live on the 15th floor and many times I will take the stairs rather than going on the elevator. Until now I only went up. Well it's time to go down, too!

Want to boost your mood? Try these simple solutions.

Whatever you do, don't let them see you sweat tips.

When it comes to the sun, we might like the summer, but too much sun can cause problems from wrinkles to cancer. It takes only 20 minutes to have our fill of daily Vitamin D. Although people shy away from them, there are some excellent self-tanners on the market.
