Proper nutrition - a healthy breakfast for every day

Overeating, eating unhealthy foods, skipping the morning meal - all this leads to a deterioration in the body's condition, and often weight gain. To avoid facing one of these problems, you need to balance one of the most important meals - breakfast.

Many people mistakenly think that proper nutrition is a complex and rather lengthy process, for which there is absolutely no time in the morning. It’s much easier and faster to make a sandwich and get to work sooner. In fact, preparing healthy food does not take much time. The main thing in this process is the correct selection of suitable products.

Today we will tell you what diet is healthy, what foods should be consumed in the morning and what not, and we will share healthy breakfast recipes with proper nutrition, which are also effective for weight loss.

What is better to eat for breakfast with proper nutrition?

It is naive to believe that absolutely any breakfast is correct and healthy. Very often, those losing weight try to eat as many harmful and forbidden foods as possible at the first meal, so that later during the day they can adhere to dietary nutrition. If this is just cheating and you rarely resort to such nutrition, then this is quite acceptable. You can eat fast food, sweets, and baked goods for breakfast, and then strictly control the next meals. But it is absolutely impossible to do this on an ongoing basis. PP breakfast is a balanced and properly selected meal that should provide you with the necessary energy and start your metabolism. To make this meal correct and healthy, you should adhere to the following principles:

• try to avoid fast carbohydrates. The main purpose of breakfast is to give the body the necessary boost of energy. Fast carbohydrates provide only fleeting satiety. So, if you had cake for breakfast, then be sure that after 1 hour you will feel hungry again. To avoid this, it is better to give up fast carbohydrates, which are found in sweets and baked goods.
• give up fatty foods. A hearty breakfast by no means means a fatty breakfast. After eating such food, it will be very difficult for your body to digest the food, and you will feel not only heaviness in your stomach, but also fatigue. In addition, you will definitely feel sleepy, which is not at all the best start to the day.

What to eat for breakfast with proper nutrition to lose weight? This list is much longer than you might think. Judge for yourself:

• whole grain products. Flour lovers don’t have to worry, because there’s no need to give up baked goods, toast and sandwiches. The main thing is to include whole grains in your diet, rich in fiber, which will help cleanse your body of waste and toxins. This includes whole grain bread and baked goods based on any whole grain flour (you can always have a whole grain croissant for breakfast). Is it possible to have pasta for breakfast with PP? Yes, if these are products made from durum wheat.
• Porridge. An important component of breakfast for weight loss is porridge. You can safely include buckwheat, oatmeal, wheat, barley, and brown rice in your diet. True, with oatmeal, not everything is as simple as many people think. The thing is that oatmeal, which we most often include in our morning diet, has gone through too much processing and has lost its nutrients and fiber. This is why very often after eating oatmeal, many people begin to feel hungry within an hour. If you are going to include oatmeal in your morning diet, then you should pay attention to oats, rolled oats or wholemeal oatmeal. These foods contain more fiber.
• protein. If you engage in physical activity in the morning, be sure to include protein in your diet. Low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat cheese, milk, kefir, natural yogurt, eggs. As for meat, you can eat beef, chicken, turkey, veal; in general, we give preference to lean meats. The same goes for fish. These products give you a great feeling of satiety and supply your muscles with the necessary amount of protein.
• vegetables. The ideal addition to a protein-packed breakfast is vegetables. It is better to give preference to green vegetables; they contain the fewest calories, but at the same time they are very rich in fiber.
• Fruits and berries. This is a great way to diversify your diet. Add them to ready-made cereals, yoghurts, and decorate your curd desserts with them. A great option is to use fruit to make sandwiches. From fruits, choose those that are rich in fiber - apples, oranges, peaches, apricots.
• Natural sweeteners. If you really want something sweet, then give preference to natural sweeteners. Honey is ideal.

What foods are considered healthy nutrition?

What prevents you from improving your diet?

In addition to eating harmful foods, the processes of losing weight and healing the body are hampered by a large number of factors that can nullify any attempts at proper nutrition. So, in order to comprehensively approach the issue of forming a healthy diet, you should not only eat properly in the morning, but also know the factors that negatively affect the body. These include:

• Eating too much food is overeating.
• Baked goods and sweets as a reward for any success.
• Reluctance to limit fast food intake.
• Irregular meals - skipping lunch or breakfast.
• Meals without a system or schedule (every day at different times).
• Eating large amounts of fatty and fried foods.
• Frequent feasts with an abundance of dishes on the table.
• Eating food not out of necessity, but “for company.”
• Consumption of products with a long shelf life.
• Mainly sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity and sports.
• Excessive reduction in food intake.
• Eating foods that are inappropriate for your level of physical activity, age, or gender.
• Excessive consumption of soda, juices and other packaged drinks.
• Neglecting to study the composition of foods consumed.
• The erroneous concept “healthy does not mean tasty.”

All these factors indicate that it is important not only to choose the right foods, but also to psychologically tune in to proper nutrition.

Second breakfast at the checkpoint

To ensure that the first breakfast is not too dense, and also to ensure that you have enough strength and energy to hold out until lunch, you can also have a second breakfast. This meal generally resembles a regular snack, between two main meals. So what can you eat at this meal:

A few rules for a healthy diet

To make it easier for you to adjust your diet, we offer several rules that will help you along the way:

• Learn to distinguish hunger from whims and thirst

When we feel hungry, we always go to the refrigerator and look for something to eat. Let's say you have boiled chicken meat, buckwheat, tomatoes and cucumbers in your refrigerator. If you ate these foods and felt full, then your body was truly hungry and received the nutrients it needed. If you don’t want to eat the food that is in your refrigerator, you would like to enjoy a sweet cake or french fries, then your body is simply capricious. There will be little benefit from eating junk food; after a couple of hours you will want to eat again.

Thirst can also disguise itself as hunger. Sometimes it can be difficult to differentiate between these feelings. Therefore, if you feel slightly hungry, drink a glass of cold water and wait 15-20 minutes. If you don't want to eat anymore, it was just thirst. If you're still hungry, then it's time to eat.

• Try not to drink while eating

Water moves through the gastrointestinal tract much faster than food, and it also “takes” with it gastric juice, which is important for the digestion process. It is preferable to drink a glass of warm water 15-20 minutes before meals or 40 minutes after lunch.

• Don't give in to emotional impulses

When experiencing strong emotions and feelings, do not try to drown them out with food. This method is not useful. Better go in for sports, take a walk or watch your favorite movie. Such activities will bring you a good mood and allow you to take your mind off pressing problems.

• Try not to overeat

Excessive eating has a negative impact on your body. When leaving the table, you should feel light hunger, and not heaviness in your stomach, lethargy and laziness.

• Chew thoroughly

To make things easier on your body, you shouldn't eat your food in two sittings. It is better to chew each piece thoroughly until it becomes mushy. This will allow you not only to get rid of heaviness in your stomach, but also to eat less food - your body will be full faster.

• Don't overeat before bed

The last meal should be no later than three hours before bedtime. Having dinner later, you risk gaining excess weight. Since during sleep the body’s processes slow down, and absorption occurs sluggishly and incompletely.

• Organize your meals

Make a schedule for when you will eat. Your body will get used to eating at certain times, which will help establish proper metabolism and other body processes.

PP toast for breakfast

One of the simplest and most delicious breakfasts for every day is toast. But since we adhere to proper nutrition, our toast will be correct. It is best to make toast from whole grain breads. Here are the best breakfast ideas with toast:
