who want their pre-baby body back...

Remember the slogan, "Breakfast of Champions?" Well, there is a reason why champions eat breakfast! And those who skip breakfast take note... studies have proven breakfast eaters have a higher metabolism, require less food and have better healthy habits than those who skip breakfast. This is the MOST important weight loss tips you will ever read...

And if your major goal is to lose your fat, then YOU must turn your body into a hot furnace burning all the fat in your body. Just like in real life, if you want to make the furnace hotter, you MUST "feed" or put more fuel into it. So you must put more high quality food in your body to turn up the natural metabolism to burn fat twenty-four hours a day! Granted, our metabolism slows down at nighttime when we are sleeping but it must be jumpstarted as soon as we wake up. It makes sense when you think about it, why wait several hours before you finally eat something? You just wasted those several hours which your body could have burned more calories. So eat as soon as you wake up to start up your metabolism to burn the fat!

And you should do this all day. Frequent, small good quality meals every three to four hours will stoke the fires hotter in your body.

This is what you are going to do. You MUST eat a good quality small meal within 1 hour after you wake up. If you are busy like most of us, you probably are having trouble finding the time to eat. Here is a weight loss tip, set your alarm clock so you can wake up ten to twenty minutes earlier to prepare and eat a tasty, easy to make breakfast of champions! This breakfast should have good quality protein and fiber to give your metabolism a boost. And you will also be doing yourself a favor because it will give you energy and make you more alert. More energy equals being more active. Being more active means burning more calories...

"But Holly, I'm not hungry in the morning!" Then try drinking a big glass of water or freshly brewed green tea first thing when you wake up. Do all the morning stuff you need to do... shower, get dressed, get the kids ready for school ect... And the last thing you do before you step outside the door is spend 10-15 minutes eating a good breakfast.

For those who like to exercise in the morning, I recommend that you eat thirty to forty minutes BEFORE working out.

Here are some healthy foods choices you can try:

1. A light meal or snack of low fat yogurt and fruit before you work out. And then eat a regular sized breakfast thirty to forty-five minutes after your exercise workout.

2. Half and half. Eat half of your breakfast before working out and half afterwards -- thirty to forty-five minutes after working out.

3. You can drink a protein and carb drink before working out and a regular breakfast shortly afterwards

You may be tempted to eat one of those breakfast bars but here is a warning. Most of them are just glorified bars loaded with fat and sugar. Double check the nutrition label to be sure it is good for you to eat.

One fast and easy breakfast to prepare is... CEREAL! It is easy to make, convenient to gather and prepare and full of good quality nutrients. And no... don't go nuts and choose those sugary cereals that even your Mother wouldn't let you have as a kid...

Pick and choose the cereals based on what you see on the food label:

* At least 5 grams of fiber per serving

* Less than 8 grams of sugar per serving

* Sugar" is NOT the first three ingredients listed

Every breakfast you have should have these: Good quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and fresh or frozen fruit. Here is some of my favorite breakfasts to make and hopefully, you can get some great ideas of your own...

• < berries fresh of dish side a and cinnamon dash with oatmeal, your in butter peanut natural some Mix>

• < of dish a and with in some milk skim cereal Crunch” Lean Go “Kashi put Bananas Slice>

• < fresh of a with fruit frozen or piece shake Protein>

By now you know that ignoring breakfast will put a damper in your weight loss goals. So start your day with a breakfast of champions!
