DISCUSSION AND FEEDBACK POST: As of lately, my cravings for peanuts and peanut butter has increased. The reason for this is because I am now sculpting my body (a personal goal) at the gym 4-6 times a week and I am burning more calories, by lifting weighs your body is using up a larger muscle group which rings a bell on PROTEIN INTAKE!! You must repair the muscles. If you were not aware of this fact and you thought that by eating more of less nutritious meals would curb your increased metabolism youre wrong and your expectations for your weight loss isnt going to show the results! WHAT NOT TO DO: 1.) Do not go about eating more of less! eg. Because you are hungry you may have a small breakfast and after a short while your hunger triggers again so you may grab a whole wheat sandwich because everyone thinks its filling to over load on the bad carbs carbs carbs. WRONG! I will save this for another discussion. 2.) Do not skip breakfast if youre working out early in the mornings and then go crazy at lunch and dinner times. WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? Eat more of more. eg: have a breakfast high in protien and fibre. Plus add a fruit. For instance an apple! The reason why I would stay away from the wheat is because of the high sugar content and also modern wheat contains a powerful appetite stimulant that allows you to eat way more than you need. HERES A SIMPLE BREAKFAST RECIPE TO USE: Its high in protein and fiber. You do not have to use peanut butter if you prefer almond butter instead both ways work perfect! Nutrition per serving: 425 calories. 16g protein. 48 g carbs(good). 7g fiber. 21g fat(good fats such as monunsaturated from the peanut butter and the milk. Fats that your body need to get rid of the bad fats(trans fat etc) 4g saturated fat. 250 mg sodium Ingredients: 1/2 cup of old-fashion oats (I use natures path instant oats with flaxseed I DO NOT USE QUAKER) 3/4 cup original almond milk 2 tablespoon of organic peanut butter ( not the regular store bought this will exceed your sodium intake) 1 teaspoon of honey ( optional, because my instant oats already has sugar and the milk I do not want to exceed my sugar intake) 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Instructions: In a small pot, heat up your milk until it has reached the temperature at which you need it to be. If you are at work you can use the microwave. Pour your milk into a bowl and then add your oats. (Most people prefer to add there oats in the pot also while the milk is heating up, I choose not to by preferrence!) Add your organic 100% peanut butter and cinnamon. Stir and enjoy! When I have eggs or oast for breakfast this keeps me full up to 3-4 hours before I am hungry again. I am always on my feet because of my Culinary profession which means even while standing Im burning calories walking back and forth so this really does sustain me! Any further questions or comments, please leave below and I would be more than happy to answer them! Bless Day Everyone and eat clean!
