Thread: Healthy breakfast

thanks for the excellent post i really enjoyed reading all this. i eat lots of different sorts of breakfasts!

HI there,
I agree with you all and wanna say that breakfast helps you much to refuel your energy and helps you much to perform all the day long activities....

Did you know there are about 38,000 different Christian denominations all claiming to derive their schemas and dialectics from the same book and all claiming that all the others are wrong? Try to wrap your mind around that one. I can't. Same thing is true about diet/nutrition. Countless dietary regimens whose advocates all are certain they have the correct one. Even if they insist that we are each biochemically unique and have different needs as a way to dodge the question of what is a healthy way to eat. And the different dietary "sects" are often just as evangelical about the subject as the exoteric religionists are.

Nutrition is a tough nut to crack but it is crackable. Only no one can crack your nut for you. The vast majority of what passes for nutrition "science" is sheer propaganda that has been promulgated and foisted on an unsuspecting and credulous public so long that it has gained legitimacy, even sacrosanct status. Quick example is the uber-popular comment at the start of the thread demonizing fat and cholesterol. I mean everyone KNOWS they are destructive of health, right? That IS the party line we have been conditioned to believe for almost a century now. It has unquestionable status and, therefore, goes unquestioned in the mainstream even though it could not be farther from the truth based on an objective analysis of the best studies extant, imho.

Experimenting with experience is laudable. A neologism exists for it: "experienting." There is no substitute for experienting in every area of our lives whether it be diet, sleep patterns, sexuality, raising children, healing etc. And what to eat for breakfast or whether to eat breakfast is subject to the same process of experimentation using proper "scientific" methodology, naturally. I think the broad-strokes answer is that it is more beneficial to eat a nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich breakfast than to eat a light sugary breakfast or to not eat breakfast, and there are numerous reasons to support this argument and refinements of it. Exactly when to eat and what to eat and in what quantities and what order. But these refinements deserve much more elaborate treatment than what would fit on a bumper sticker, after all.

I need to have my breakfast, can't make it to lunch without it. I'll be too hungry at work

Healthy breakfast:


Breakfast gives you a chance to start your
day with a healthy and nutritious meal,
which may reduce your risk of heart disease
So do not skip breakfast it may be more important than you think.....

Have your breakfast first thing before work, if you want to start work first then start with having breakfast ;)

I try to eat within 30 minutes of waking up.

I try to get some protein, and some fruit. Yogurt, and a banana. Eggs and cantaloupe. Sometimes I'll have a bagel or something with it.

Any variety of pancakes and waffles to suit the mood, some days you'll want them plain with maple syrup, some days, you'll want bananas in 'em, some days you'll want blueberries or chocolate chips. I love how versatile breakfast pastries are.

Eggs, hardboiled and sliced on rye bread with margarine or mustard, and scallions, sriracha or black pepper. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms or peppers and also great.

And having a variety of cereal products is nice. A good granola or muesli can go with fruit, yoghurt, or milk and fill you up.

And of course, oatmeal is an amazing warm breakfast for winter. I like it best with cardamom, banana and walnut bits.

Start out with a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 lemon (juice) in hot water. Follow up a little while later with a banana greens smoothie with some superfoods. Gets you going and keep you healthy...
