Im sorry I havent posted all weekend, it was busy but GREAT and involved a lot of naughty foods!! =P But thats ok because its ok to splurdge at least once or twice a month, this will actually benefit you. As long as you dont over do it and completely stuff yourself, your metabolism will boost when you intake foods that your body isnt used too. Its your bodies way of saying "What the heck is this!! GET IT OUT!!"
But the good thing is, the weekend is over, and I am still fully focused on healthy living! Its important to have the strong mindset to stay on track!
I started my day off with an amazing breakfast sandwich alternative, and I ate it open faced but you can also take this on the go!
What you see here is 2 egg whites with goat cheese and chopped tomatoes on a multigrain flatbread pita!
The benefits of this breakfast:
Tomatoes - In addition to a number of vitamins that they contain, they also are known as an anti-inflammatory food. This component will help to prevent diseases such as arthritis, cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, MS, and also will help you feel less bloated! This is all caused by a substance called Lycopene. Its been said that heating tomatoes will enhance the Lycopene - this will help the body to absorb it better&quicker.
Egg Whites - Fat free, lowers cholesterol, and is FULL of protein!
Goat Cheese - Right off the bat, goat cheese contains less fat and less calories than cheese made from cows milk. It is also much easier to digest! It also has much more calcium than cows milk cheese, goat cheese has 240g and cows milk cheese 200g. It has been said that a diet/lifestyle with increased calcium assist in metabolism boosts and helps burn fat after meals. Also, contains viatmins and protein.
Multigrain Flatbread - Full of fiber and whole grains! They go hand&hand and will help you to decreas the risk of heart disease, keep you regular, and lower your blood pressure - just to name a few benefits!!
Hope you all enjoy your Monday morning, dont forget to have breakfast its the most important meal of the day!!
