If your goal is more ENERGY, stop doing this one thing ...

We know. You are already overwhelmed from an annoying amount of conflicting information. But, here’s the thing - every body is different. So, while we know that not each of you needs the same support, there are definitely themes that we see in practice.
And, one of the behaviors that we see most frequently leading to low energy is
waiting too long to eat breakfast.
Sure, we believe that fasting has value when used appropriately. Sometimes it can be a game changer for metabolism. And, we want most of you to aim for a 12 hour fast between dinner and breakfast.
BUT, here’s what we see happening all too often:
Dragging yourself out of bed,
Spending frenetic hours in the morning getting everyone else out the door,
Chugging coffee for energy,
Realizing you never made time for breakfast, and either grabbing a bite of leftovers from your kids’ breakfast, or throwing down a granola bar,
Feeling shaky and starving by the time you get to lunch because you are running off nothing but stress hormones and caffeine,
Then crashing mid afternoon with erratic blood sugars and zero energy left,
Leading to afternoon cravings that you blame on a lack of willpower and ultimately give in to, leaving you feeling crappy again…
Sound familiar?
We can give you the data, both from our own client work and from research, showing that almost always, clients report more stable moods, better blood sugar control, easier fat loss, and dramatically more energy when they start their day with a solid breakfast.
Sure, we know this isn't easy given the chaos in your morning, but we promise, pushing through as long as you can to avoid eating is NOT the answer to your metabolism or energy problems.
What, When or How Much YOU need to eat will likely be a personalized conversation, but that’s what we’re here to help with.
