Check out this link to P90X's latest newsletter. #072 - P90X Newsletter - Healthy, Big Breakfasts - Fitness, Nutrition, Diet, Weight Loss Official Web site OK, I am going to admit it, I am not a breakfast eater!! I haven't been a breakfast eater since I was in High School. So now I have been reading more and more about getting enough carbs & protein in the morning to replenish what was lost all night long while you sleep. Don't forget, we still burn calories while we sleep. But interestingly, the article states that because our Serotonin levels are highest in the morning, (you know Serotonin, it is the Hap, Hap, Happy hormone :) ) we tend to skip breakfast. But doing so makes our serotonin levels drop later in the day. Now I know why I am so grouchy by 3:00!!! Oh but there is more, because our bodies are starving, from not having any food for all those hours, it starts to store what we eat later as fat you know, for survival reasons!!! YIKES!!
Say it with me: "From this day forth, I shall eat breakfast!!!"
