Carbs-based Breakfast
- In the morning simple
carbohydrates such
as
sugary refined cereals,
white breads, toasts, etc
cause an immediate surge
of blood sugar level
which results in a substantial
emission of insulin.
The insulin removes sugar
from blood turning its excess
into fat. The result is
a decreased level of blood
sugar, and thirst for more
carbs. This cycle repeats
itself 2-3 more times during
the day. This vicious circle
constitutes one of the major
reasons for diabetes, high
blood pressure and extra
weight.

Skipping Breakfast
-When you skip breakfast,
blood sugar drops below
the normal level, you
experience cravings
and a drop of energy.
You again revert to snacking
on simple carbohydrates
foods to achieve a quick
surge of blood sugar and
to overcome hunger and a
drop of energy. The insulin
removes sugar from blood
turning its excess into
fat. The body, now low in
blood sugar, experiences
further cravings and a drop
in energy. This vicious
cycle constitutes one of
the major reasons for diabetes,
high blood pressure and
extra weight.

Balanced Healthy Breakfast
-Such a breakfast supplies
our body with all vital nutrients
and energy without increasing
blood sugar and insulin levels.
It helps to avoid dependence
on carbs during the day. In
this way appetite stays under
control, cravings for carb based
foods (snacks, chocolate,
pastry, junk, soft drinks, etc)
diminish and the body
uses its own stored fats to
get more energy.
