Daily Health Tip


Start your day off with protein and fat in your breakfast.  This type of meal will cause only a small rise in your blood sugar which will help prevent hunger and sweet cravings in the early to middle morning.  The Standard American Diet, or S.A.D. is typically 65% carbohydrate.  An example of a S.A.D. breakfast would be a bowl of cereal, slice of toast and orange juice.  This meal would produce a spike in blood sugar followed by a crash in 90-120 minutes (1 ½ to 2 hours) that results in food cravings and increased hunger.  A good way to start your day?  Try a 2 egg omelet with cheese, onion, green pepper and mushroom.  This meal will typically have around 30% carbohydrates which will result in more even energy throughout the day!
