NOTES ON BREAKFAST AND SNACKS

BREAKFAST:

Breakfast isn't an optional meal.
It is not just a cliche that it is often referred to the most important meal.
If you do not eat breakfast, I challenge you to do so for a full year. And just that change alone will most likely result in a 3-5lb weight loss over a year.
Your metabolism has to start early in the day especially if you are exercising. If you are in a fitness plateau and you do not eat breakfast, start today!

If breakfast is truly hard for you, start small.

Ideas:

A hard boiled egg with sea salt and pepper
A piece of ezekiel toast with olive, coconut or flax oil. Or pasture raised butter.
1 greek yogurt or 1 siggis
A smoothie
Miso soup
Raw Oatmeal
Hot Oatmeal
Last night's brown rice or whole grain with hot green tea and a dash of maple syrup

If none of these sound good or possible for you, please tell me!

SNACKS:

We work really long hours here in NYC. We need fuel to get us through our day and when it is cold out there is a feeling we need more.

Ideas:
a cup of soup ( I love the Moroccan Lentil from Pret and the Mom's Chicken soup from whole foods)
1/2 avocado with sea salt, olive oil and cumin
Apple with a nutbutter
Smoothie or Green Juice- There are many great options at The Juice Press and Organic Avenue.
I sometimes wish I lived at the Juice Press, really.
If you are not trying to loose weight, nuts are great too, whenever you an get sprouted nuts do.

Do you need more suggestions?


MOVEMENT IN WINTER:

Get warm layers. I love wool for winter fitness. Get outside and move your body.

ONE HOUR EVERYDAY!

Xove,
OBAMA!
