Tip of the Week for November, 12 2007The Number One Way to Improve Your Diet
Eat Breakfast. These tips make it both fast and nutritious.
Mornings are busy, but if in your haste to get out of the house you rely on coffee-shop muffins for breakfast-or skip the meal altogether-you're not only taking the chance that you'll feel sluggish before noon, you're also setting yourself up to do battle with your weight. In addition to being high in calories, muffins, bagels, and other refined carbohydrates are digested so quickly that they flood your body with glucose (blood sugar). That triggers a surge of insulin, which lowers glucose, leading to a dip in energy and rebound hunger a few hours later. A healthy morning meal revs up your metabolism and controls your hunger all day long. In fact, 78 percent of successful dieters are regular breakfast eaters, according to a report from the National Weight Control Registry. What about your busy schedule? No worries. My tips for on-the-go breakfasts let you eat smart and still get to work on time.
