Yep. Eat. You have to eat in order to keep your metabolism running in an optimal manner. Are you skipping breakfast in order to cut back on calories and lose weight? Bad battle plan, soldier. Let’s work out a battle plan together here and I’ll show you just why you need to eat, when you should eat and what you should eat.
Remember that not eating sends your army into survival mode, right? It believes you are starving and so slows down it’s metabolism in order to conserve its stores. Let’s say you’ve been asleep for 8 hours. You didn’t have anything to eat for two to three or more hours before you went to bed last night. Now your body has been without food for about 11 or 12 hours. If you skip breakfast, you’re adding more time and your body is starting to whimper and wonder where its fuel is and if it’s ever going to come and should it start conserving now because starvation is just around the corner? You’ve got your little soldiers all up in a lather and that’s not a good thing.
Now, what happens if you go to bed, get up and eat a healthy breakfast? You have, in essence, broken your fast. You’ve been fasting for ten or more hours and now it’s over. Your little soldiers can relax and get back to their normal duty, which is burning calories instead of storing them.
