We’ve spoken many times about the importance of a good breakfast.
You know, something nice and balanced not just a bowl of sugar (most cereals).
But, in general the first few things you do when you get up are some of the most important things you can do.
They set you up for the day.
What you eat is one, sure.
It’s not just the nutritional content of that meal.
It’s how it’ll effect your hormone balance for the rest of the day.
Will it put you in more of a fat storage mode or a fat releasing mode?
But, your breakfast will also affect what you eat for the rest of the day.
All research shows that the standard super high carb breakfast (cereal, toast, juice, etc) makes it much more likely you’ll go super high carb later in the day too (pasta based meals, sandwiches, etc).
Eating a healthy, balanced breakfast means your much more likely to eat healthy and balanced for the rest of the day too.
And there’s the things you do to set you up for the day.
Do you make sure you have the ‘stuff’ you need to do what you need to do?
Workout gear ready?
Healthy food ready to Tupperware up and take with you?
And have you structured you day to get the most out of it?
And to minimise the chance you’ll “run out of time” for your workout, healthy meal, etc.
Have you set a plan for your day?
Or will you just turn up at work, check your email and see what’s going on?
Creating a list of goals for the weeks and days then batching them means you get tonnes more done.
You feel less rushed and have time to do the things you need to do.
You get the message – remember, that first hour after you wake will set you up for success of failure.
Use it wisely my son!
