Let’s say your family, like many many other American families, sleep in late and then spend some quality time in the kitchen whipping up pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, eggs with cheddar cheese, and bagels with cream cheese all mashed together with lots of whipped cream, maple syrup and butter. It’s thee American breakfast, yes? It’s something you look forward to as you rest your head on your pillow the night before, is it not? How do you walk away from years of such succulent breakfast treats that were enjoyed while laughing, and making memories with those you love? Your family would probably skip Sunday morning breakfast (forever!) if you were to start serving shredded wheat with skim milk and wheat grass juice! Or maybe raw hamburger meat? Years ago that’s what a French roommate would enjoy for breakfast… but that’s another blog.
No need for deprivation, and not need to walk away from the great American breakfast! All anyone needs to do is to find the balance via a little lifestyle modification.
With this, when it comes to eating you get to enjoy some of these classic breakfast goodies without guilt - once in a while. So, how about choosing just three of the above breakfast classics? For example go for (1) the pancakes with (2) syrup and butter only and pile on plenty of fresh berries! Two slices of (3) bacon makes three and since hot chocolate is better enjoyed in the middle of winter, how about cracking open that box of green tea to wash it all down? Next Sunday, go for just the eggs and cheese with a bagel. Add a grapefruit and you'll be modifying your lifestyle, without any deprivation. You’ve got the idea! And after breakfast? Get walking!
