Q: True or False: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day? (cue jeopardy music)
A: Sometimes……
That’s right on certain days it is in fact the most important meal of the day, on others it’s the second most important.
What takes its place of importance 3-4 times a week?
Your post workout meal. What you eat right after you workout can literally turbocharge your results or slow them down to tortoise speed. Trust me; you don’t want to waste your workouts by refueling improperly afterwards. Especially this time of year when you are already struggling to keep the scale steady. Don’t you want every advantage you can get?
Well I have two things for you today:
1. My favorite new breakfast recipe for the days when breakfast is king (or any day really). I call it:
Sarai’s Perfect Oatmeal
- ½ cup oatmeal (good carbs & fiber)
- 1 Tbsp Dried Cranberries (quick energy from the natural surgar)
- 1 Tbsp golden raisins (ditto on the quick energy)
- 1 Tbsp Chopped Walnuts (healthy fat. It’ll keep you feeling full longer)
- 1 Scoop vanilla protein powder (Protein to balance your blood sugar and keep you in fat burning mode)
Combine all in a bowl with 1 cup water and microwave for 2 min. Sweeten to taste with agave or artificial sweetener.
2. My partners at Prograde have put together a special 39 page report on what you DON’T want to eat after you workout. That’s right, eat one of these things and you may have just wasted all that sweat from your workout.
You can get that here: What to NEVER Eat After Your Workout This report is easy to read and it’ll teach you all the basics. Just the stuff you need to know. Nothing else.
Knowledge = results. Get it!
