This knowledge allows us to use breakfast to offset the biochemical workings behind our sugar cravings, weight gain and depression.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Dedication
• Attention

1. Eat Breakfast daily so it becomes a habit. This practice helps to stymy those late-day low blood sugar attacks and cravings for those empty-calorie, sugary snacks -- permanently.

2. The results are best when you eat breakfast within an hour or so of waking up- even when you’re not hungry. A brain chemical designed to mask hunger pangs is produced as a result of morning-time low blood sugar. The result is sugar cravings later in the day.

3. Be sure to have complex carbohydrates- i.e. whole-grain cereals, steel-cut oats, and high-fiber fruits. Fiber balances blood sugar and helps you feel full longer.

4. Be sure to add protein to the mix, which slows digestion, helps prevent drastic highs and lows in blood sugar, and may even give you a dose of depression-fighting tryptophan. It’s recommended that you get a third of your daily protein at breakfast.

Tips & Warnings

• It may take some time to get into the practice of having a good breakfast. Most of us are so used to the mad-dash mornings that we just grab whatever's handy, but you'll notice the difference a proper breakfast makes. With a bit of planning you may even find ways to prepare them ahead of time, because your Mom was right, breakfast is a very important meal, if not the most important of the day.
