Last post we explained why the breakfast is one of the most important meals. But if we have breakfast, and do not eat right during the day, every good think that the breakfast will do to us, we can destroy it with bad choice for the next meals.
Importance of the snacks
The brunch is next meal that must be taken 3 hours after the breakfast.
Why the brunch must be 3 hours after the breakfast? Because, our body is made in that way, that the food is passing from the stomach to the intestines in 3 hours, so if we take the right food for breakfast, our stomach is ready for the next meal.
So what we have to take for the brunch or the first snack.
IMPORTANT: Snacks are not meant to be regular meal, but to satisfy our hanger till the lunch.
Lot of people after the breakfast, and depending from the time that the persons has, took something quick, like chocolate, or chips, or even some sandwich. This food is also rich in carbs and salt, so that kind of food is with high insulin coefficient, so it triggers the insulin reaction. Like we have said in the previous post everything that have over 200 calories is count like meal, and if the calories count is below 200 calories is snack or brunch. Because the energy must be balanced during the day, for our body to be in the right condition, every energetic food that is rich in simple carbs, is destroying the balance. When the energy balance is impaired, than we are feeling fatigue and sleepiness, we are losing concentration and we are feeling nervous.
For the morning snack or brunch best food is fruit. Few fruits is going to keep the appetite under control, not too much, because, the fruits contain sugar. So the conclusion is that for the snack we take food only to kill our appetite, and to maintain the energy levels on the desirable level.
People that have weight problems, may include also and protein in their snacks, because, the protein will quicken the loss of fat.
I am using yoghurt or protein bars from Herbalife in combination with one fruit. Skimmed yoghurt 250 ml and the protein bar are containing 10 grams of protein and their energetic value is around 130 calories, for the bar, and 160 calories for the yoghurt.
3 hours after the brunch or the first snack, you can take a lunch, or if your lunch is later, you can replace it with second snack.
Second snack is having the same purpose like the first, to kill the appetite till the next meal ( lunch or dinner ).
Second snack should be some vegetables or salad. The fruits should not be used because it can cause bloating. This snack should be below 200 calories.
Also like the first snack, if you want to lose more fat, you can take some food that is containing proteins.
I'm using the Gourmet tomato soup from Herbalife with salad, and this completely satisfying my appetite.
Im changing my life for the better, and together we can change yours life, because, if you want to change the world we should first change us.
For the next post I am going to write for the importance of lunch and what kind of lunch we should have.
Even the trip from 1000 miles is starting with the first step, so what are you waiting for.
