The secret to becoming a breakfast person

 
Quick Q of the week: I rarely eat breakfast because I don't like breakfast foods like bacon, eggs or toast. I want to eat breakfast though because it's the most important meal of the day. What are some easy things to make you would suggest?

 

Wellness expert and CEO of girlsgonesporty.com Laura Williams says, “I completely understand! I'm not a big breakfast person, either. It's all about getting your metabolism revved up in the morning, so put some peanut butter on apple slices or make oatmeal with raisins.

 

Make it happen! The key to making breakfast count isn’t just puttin’ something in your belly in the a.m. “Try to choose foods that have a high-fiber carbohydrate (like oats, whole wheat bread, fruits or veggies) and a protein (peanut butter, milk, soy milk, Greek yogurt, etc.),” Laura says. “These will keep you full and focused (like the commercial!) throughout the day.”

I want to lose some weight though I'm not fat. I want to have a healthier breakfast and lunch. The problem is that I don't want to seem like I'm on a diet or make my dad suspicious. It's embarrassing because I'm only 11. Is it fine to eat regular lunch or lunchables for lunch? Is lunchables a good choice for lunch? If not, want are some healthy ideas? Finally, my friends have a high metabolism and I have a normal one so I have to watch out for what I eat, but my friend always brings sweets and I always want to eat it and I do. How do I keep the sugar to a minimum? Oh, if I eat healthy and try to get 3-4 days of swim (it's a swim team for 1 hour) do you think I will see results? Thank you!

Hey girlie,

You can eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle without "going on a diet," and I'm sure your parents wouldn't be upset if you wanted your family to be more healthy! Try incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your breakfast and lunch. I don't know much about lunchables, but I'm sure there are healthy options within the brand or within other lunch brands. You could try incorporating more natural sugars from fruits into your diet, and having sweets every once in a while is totally fine if you live a healthy lifestyle Smile Swimming sounds like a great way to exercise, and if you want to tone a certain part of your body you could ask your swimming instructor about what strokes and exercises would be best.

I have been trying to slow down on the soda so I have been drinking more water but I wanted to know if Vitamin Water is good for you to drink?




Hey Chica,

Vitamin Water is NOT good for you to drink! It's better than soda, but it still has plenty of sugar and not too many real vitamins (though the misleading name...)! Try to stick to real water instead. What you can do to make water a little tastier is to add real fruit. Try to mix in some lemon pieces/juice (it's especially refreshing when it's really hot outside), or add some berries for flavor!
