Nutrition Tip #1

Did you just wake up from the comma you call a good nights sleep? Have you eaten yet? Well....HAVE YOU? How long after you woke up did you eat? Oh wait, it's been two hours and you haven't eaten anything? BIG OLE MISTAKE! What basically happens when you decide to not eat breakfast is your body goes into starvation mode. It thinks you won't be feeding it the rest of the day, so the next time you eat, your food gets stored as fat. Yes, I know....wonderful! This is definitely an incentive to eat breakfast every morning.

My friends Ian King and Lou Schuler, wrote in their book, "The Book of Muscle" that "The benefits of eating the right food diminish if you don't get the frequency and timing right. Eat your first meal as soon as you can after getting up in the morning - you want your fire to start burning as quickly as possible."

Try this meal for breakfast - One whole egg and three egg whites, 1/2 cup diced mushrooms and peppers, and one ounce of reduced-fat cheese. (This is your omelete) Add to this two slices of wheat bread, six ounces of orange juice, and around 24 ounces of water. This is your fuel for the morning and to get your body jump started to be a lean, mean, burning machine. Sometimes, I just do a nice protein shake for breakfast; it's quick and easy (actually I do this most of the time).

Nutrition Tip #1...Eat right after you wake up in the morning. Don't delay!

Quick...go back to bed and start all over again! After you wake back up...go take your butt to your kitchen and put some fuel in that body. THAT'S AN ORDER SOLDIER!!
