Nutrition Facts: Eat Breakfast and Lose Weight

If you want to lose weight and control blood sugar peaks and valleys, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. By just including a good source of protein at the start of your day as your morning meal, you can stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings. Minimize carbohydrates and focus on proteins and you will have an excellent start to any day or holistic weight loss program. My favorite: 2 hard-boiled eggs with fresh fruit juice.

Here's a quick idea for a healthy, nutrition-filled breakfast shake:

• 1/2 cup fruit juice
• 2 cups of soy or oat milk
• 2 tablespoons of protein powder
• 2 tablespoons of old-fashioned oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon flaxseed or flaxseed oil
  

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for about a minute. This makes a single serving. Enjoy.
