Eating first thing in the morning has some profound benefits for weight loss, toning and muscle gain. These benefits include:
- Ensuring that your metabolism is switched "on"
- Boosting energy levels
- Providing a readily available source of nutrients for your body
- Promoting positive brain function
So it is very important that you do consume food when you wake up in the morning.
Many of my clients have experienced the same problem - they just cannot eat first thing in the morning. This is often due to poor lifestyle habits by not eating in the morning on a regular basis. The way to overcome this is to gradually introduce food into your body in the morning. It takes a little while to accomplish, but eventually you will be able to consume a full breakfast.
To begin with, try just drinking fluids - a protein shake, or some juice and of course plenty of water to re-hydrate you. Then gradually introduce small portions of solid foods into your diet. Eventually you'll be able to consume an entire meal and may actually become hungry first thing!
