Eat A Good Breakfast And Increase Your Metabolism July 28
If a lean body is your goal then you should be excited to hear that just by eating a good breakfast you can increase your metabolism by as much as 10% throughout the entire day!
The mere act of eating breakfast can actually increase your metabolism and basically have your body burning more calories throughout the day then it normally would.
One of the best things you can eat at breakfast time is oatmeal because of the long chain carbohydrates that oatmeal contains. The long chain carbohydrates go into your system and because of their complexion they stay in your system for up to 8 hours!
That means your body has 8 hours to burn/utilize the oatmeal, long-chain carbohydrates as energy before converting them to fat. Compare that to the 30 minute life span simple sugars have in your stomach to be burned or utilized as energy prior to being converted to fat.
It should be pretty evident that long-chain or complex carbohydrates are superior to simple sugars because they give your body a long-term sustained form of energy that it can utilize throughout the day.
A typical breakfast for me is a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of orange juice.
The orange juice is a great addition to the oatmeal because it contains some simple sugars which can be quickly utilized by the body to replenish it’s glycogen stores after a long night without food.
Again, if a lean body is your goal then I strongly consider you begin every day with a healthy breakfast that includes some form of complex carbohydrates and some form of simple sugar and just watch your metabolism skyrocket!
