Mission 30: Break Down Breakfast Barriers
Why do people make such a big deal about eating breakfast? Does it make that much difference?
Well, the research shows that there are two important things about breakfast:
- Breakfast eaters are less likely to be overweight, and
- Eating breakfast is also associated with keeping weight off over the long term.
Huh. Being slim and staying slim – those are two pretty big deals in the weight-loss challenge.
So it’s worth spending a mission on rising to the breakfast challenge. Let’s work out how to eat a good breakfast every day, so we can get those weight loss benefits.

Our group responses as follows: Breakfast: Whole grain cereal; Oatmeal; Bagel & Cream; Corn Flakes; Banana; two scrambled eggs with wheat toast; four sunny side eggs with small pieces of fish toast Turkey pastrami; biscuits & gravy; coffee or juice; Greek yogurt; fruit; glass of milk; shredded wheat
Benefits of eating a good breakfast:
– It starts your day well – beginning with good choices can help you stay motivated to make goal-friendly choices throughout the day
– It kick-starts your metabolism unless the food item disagrees and comes back up
– It helps moderate eating throughout the day – a good breakfast helps stave off hunger & avoid ravenous eating patterns later in the day
– It gives you energy – so you can exercise and move more.
Eat a Good Breakfast Grapefruit with sugar; Pancakes; Waffles & French – have the syrup on the side &
dip your healthy food item into it; use 6x sugar; rye toast with poached eggs & grilled mushrooms

Low-fat protein or dairy – e.g. poached eggs or low-fat Greek yoghurt

I love breakfast. I no longer stock up on toast though. I eat a low GI cereal and then once a week I cook up low fat bacon & eggs, tomatoes, spinach, bok choy. Delicious.
I usually didn’t get hungry for breakfast until about 9.00 am, but since I started exercising I drink a smoothie every morning before my walk and after my walk I eat toast and protein:)
This is what we would eat for breakfast:
Poached Egg
Turkey Bacon
Drink a glass of Orange Juice.
or
Drink a glass of milk.
Wheat Toast.
Green fried tomatoes.
Low Sodium Bacon.
We feel breakfast is important as some of us wake up hungry.
