Prime For Fat Burn!
I think we all can agree it would be very helpful if our body would burn fat all by it’s big self even when we aren’t engaged in physical activity. Yes of course, but how does one train the body to do this? Study’s have shown that the metabolism can actually be trained on where it gathers it’s energy usage from. After a good nights sleep, our bodies awake depleted both in calories and hydration. Choosing to bustle through the morning routine, and neglect the body’s needs, is a perfect way to embark on the day already at a wellness disadvantage. But wait, take heart, this is not how we will be after ingesting the following information.
The body can be taught! Ironically, in order to get the body to transform into a fat burning machine we must feed it fat. The very first caloric energy your body should receive in the morning is a full portion of both fat and protein. When these elements are the only readily available fuel for the metabolism to work with, it will indeed burn up that fat and continue to use your other fat storage to propel you through your busy day. Another added bonus, the energy of using dietary fat for fuel is the “slow burn” slow to speak. Meaning, fat for fuel does not spike our blood sugar and give us the crashes that would normally occur after a carb full meal. When there are sugar, grains, or other forms of carbs available the body will use them for energy because of their ease in converting to glucose. This will only leave our bodies with a fleeting period of energy and a craving for more carbs to fill the void.
In conclusion, beginning the day with a breakfast of healthy fat and protein, completely excluding carbs, will grant our body with the fat burning priming and the sustained energy it needs to perform at its optimal level.
Below I will share with you some of the breakfast food ideas I personally use based on the above principles.
