What does your breakfast look like

March 3, 2018realadmin_adminNutrition

What is your breakfast like? Take another look at your breakfast plate or bowl? Will it get you through your busy morning? What is the macro split? Is it predominantly carbs? Loaded with sugars and preservatives? If so, do yourself a favour and pick up your bowl and take it to the bin along with the box it came from and throw them both out promising yourself never to buy boxed food again!!! Why? There is no good coming out of a cardboard box. And by good I mean no health benefits, no nutrients and absolutely no sustainable energy for your body to start the day let alone finish it off with a bang! So get rid of the cardboard box and if by some unfortunate chance you are adding skim milk with it, throw it too please!! Two big no, no’s here. One you are eating sugar for breakfast if you are eating cereal from a cardboard box. Where are the nutrients that are going to be your energy source? Honestly how are you going to get through your morning running off sugar? What do you think your concentration will be like? Non-existent that is what it will be. And two, skim milk! Really? Skim milk is the least favourable option when it comes to milk. All they simply have done is taken out the “good fats” that help us stay fuller for longer and also contains a good source of protein and added it with, you guessed it artificial colours and flavourings. More sugar in other words. So stop pouring sugar into a bowl and topping it up with more sugar and expect to have a productive morning at the office or home with the kids. You can forget about being a good mood because you’re not going to have the energy to pull through your morning tasks let alone the rest of your day.

SO, here is what you need to do instead. Go to the cupboard and get a plate not a bowl. You need to fill that plate up with mostly protein and fats! What is that exactly?

PROTEIN

  • Bacon
  • Eggs
  • Protein smoothie
  • Chia
  • Dark leafy greens

 

FATS

  • Eggs
  • Coconut yoghurt
  • Avocado
  • Nuts
  • Almond/coconut milk
  • Almond butter

So on your plate you need a source of protein to help with strength, fats to help with concentration and a smaller portion or no carbohydrates (depending on your personal health goals and if you want to lose weight or gain muscle!) as to whether you add carbs to your breakfast or not. By swapping your breakfast for better more quality sourced fats and proteins you will find that energy levels will rise, mood will improve and hunger pains decrease. It is all a matter of changing one habit at a time and if you can change the habit of something super quick and low to no nutrients in it whatsoever to something full of nutrients and quality sources of fuel for the body then you can expect to see a change.

 

Why is it that we choose something that is quick and easy over something that is packed with the right source of macronutrients?? It is habit. If we can change this one bad habit and choose better sourced foods, then that is a start and will help you on your way to a better and more productive day. You just need to start from the start and that’s with breakfast. Or even one step before breakfast and really start on the right foot with two glasses of lemon water to help kick start your metabolism for the day. The choice is yours and it all start at breakfast, give yourself a helping hand with dishing up a good hardy breakfast because as if our lives aren’t busy enough and if we aren’t eating the right things how do you expect your body to get you through?? Choose wisely, you only have one body to live in so take care of it. Breakfast is a great place to start.

4 ways to manage stress eating 1. Check in with y 4 ways to manage stress eating

1. Check in with yourself before eating 🙇🏻‍♀️: over consuming when you are stressed out is a generally unconscious act, meaning you don’t think about the fact that you are stress eating, you just feel like eating. Bringing awareness to the reasons why you are eating before you do it can help you to recognise the pattern you’re in and avoid continuing it. Before you eat something, you can ask yourself whether you’re feeling stressed, lonely, anxious or just hungry
2. Don’t over restrict 🙅🏻‍♀️: if you stress eat and then feel guilty about it later, causing you to restrict your intake after over consuming; it is highly likely that you will binge again which will increase your level of stress and continue the cycle. If you do over consume due to stress, just eat how you normally would at your next meal and get back on track
3. Develop stress management practices💆🏻‍♀️: this may be obvious but by managing your stress, you will reduce the impact it has on you day to day but you will also have a practice to complete instead of eating when you are stressed. This could include meditation, exercise, stretching and mindfulness practices
4. Remove temptation 🍫: very simple; if you don’t have the food in your house, you have nothing to stress eat. Try to have whole food snacks in your cupboard to promote better choices on a regular basis

6 Things that are More Important for your Health t 6 Things that are More Important for your Health than you think 🤔 

What are your top priorities for your health and wellbeing? Where are you centring your focus?

More often than not we tend to centre our focus on areas of our health that aren’t really as important as we think. For example, we focus on the timing of our meals, like not eating any carbs after 7pm or getting the next biggest fat burner supplement or even getting banged up on scale weight from day to day when so many factors play apart into this. Maybe you even find yourself feeling guilty or angry with yourself when you miss a workout, or you even catch yourself trying to find the next biggest FAD or superfood diet to get you to your result faster.

Rather than doing these things focus your attention on factors that are actually going to assist you in the long run like maintaining overall balance in terms of your nutrition, eating ample amount of protein 🥩, eating from wholefood 🥗 sources and drinking a minimum of 1L of water 💧 30kgs of body weight.

You should also take the time to ensue your body is getting enough sleep 😴 for the exercise and work load you have. Be kind to yourself if you’re getting worked up over missing a workout, take a breath relax try some stretching or some yoga 🧘🏻‍♂️ not every day needs to be beast mode. Lastly try keep your non-exercise activity high ensure your moving for a minimum of 8500 steps per day 🚶🏽‍♀️.

Remember getting 1% better every day is better than taking 2 steps forward to take 3 back, focus on being consistent and nailing the basics which is what is going to allow you to hit your goal faster.

LEGEND OF THE WEEK: MEET WARRICK T! This legend h LEGEND OF THE WEEK: MEET WARRICK T!

This legend has been absolutely knocking it out of the park since kicking it off with Real Fitness 10 weeks ago!

Warrick came to RFT with the goal of wanting to feel better and make regular strength training apart of his lifestyle as he has saw the benefit to his overall health. With Warrick it has been all about knuckling down on a few lifestyle habits to allow him to work towards his result. Warrick has centred his focus on eating 2 palm sizes of 🥩protein at every meal, 💧hitting 3L of water per day, 🏋🏻‍♂️strength training 2x per week and completing 2 🏃🏻‍♂️conditioning sessions and at least 1 cycle 🚴on his off days, He has also ⬇️ halved his alcohol intake with no alcohol Mon-Thurs and no more than 10 standard drinks per week.

Emphasising these habits have resulted in Warrick dropping 4kgs, loosing 4% in body fat, putting on 500g of muscle 💪🏻 and dropping 2 levels on his visceral fat score ✅ Not only that he also brought up his 16 week goal at the 10 week mark 🤩which is an amazing representation his effort!

Congratulations Warrick, RFT and myself are so proud of your effort and achievements, can’t wait to see what we can achieve in the future!
