Achieve Lasting Energy & a Stoked Metabolism!

In order to ensure that you have lasting energy and a stoked metabolism all throughout the day, start with a balanced breakfast!

Trade your bowl of high sugar cereal for a plate of eggs and a whole grain english muffin! Or, switch from eating a high calorie bagel to having almond or peanut butter on a slice of whole grain toast!

Why? Eating protein and some fat for breakfast will jump start your metabolism and trigger your body to begin burning fat. The protein will also help your body absorb carbohydrates more slowly so you feel full longer.

Helpful Hints:

- Remember that 1 serving of almond or peanut butter (2 tablespoons) is about equal to the size of 1 ping pong ball!

- Use a non-stick olive or canola oil on your frying pan to eliminate excessive amounts or unhealthy oils
