The worst breakfast is not having it. At the other end, the ideal is the duo protein and slow sugars. For example eggs + white beans (like the Irish), fish + bread (typically Nordic), ham + wholemeal bread, etc. Fresh cheese toast is also a good alternative, as well as oatmeal with milk. As a drink, a large cup of tea nature. Do not abuse your insulin in the morning: avoid breakfast too rich in sugar, typically Western. For example cornflakes, chocolate milk, orange juice or white bread with jam, coffee with milk and grapefruit juice. This influx of sugar can only lead to sweet cravings in the morning and throw your pancreas out of whack, setting the stage for pre-diabetes and then diabetes.
Eggs for breakfast?
Good idea ! provided there is not too much fat in the pan. Scrambled eggs with ham, onions and mushrooms, it’s delicious and slimming. A study published in “Experimental Biology” concludes that starting the day with eggs helps control weight and reduce waist circumference. A few diced ham reinforce the protein intake. As for the cholesterol in the yolk, it poses no problem (do not exceed 3 to 5 eggs/week), and would even help build muscle.
Should we forbid chocolate?
Certainly not ! Besides, eliminate the word “forbidden” from your slimming vocabulary. the chocolate has undeniable anti-stress properties. Provided you are able to eat little (two or three squares), it does not threaten your waistline. On the contrary, it helps to hold on if you follow new dietary rules, and proves to be an excellent food security blanket if life is tough on you. In addition, it has a good amount of fiber (as much as wholemeal bread…), antioxidant polyphenols (much more than tea) and its glycemic index is very low. Chocolate mousse is a dessert recommended by all GI diet experts. It is the pleasure food par excellence. Better to eat three squares of dark chocolate than to get frustrated and end up cracking down on the whole bar two days later.
