is the best time of day to have
0:08
breakfast and the honest answer is there
0:10
is none because the best time to have
0:12
breakfast is when to suit your schedule
0:15
okay so if you're getting up at six
0:17
o'clock in the morning and it's best for
0:19
you to have your breakfast at 6 15. do
0:22
it maybe it's better for you to have
0:24
your breakfast when you get to work so
0:26
it might be eight o'clock in the morning
0:27
to do it then or maybe you work out in
0:29
the mornings and then you want to make
0:30
sure that you're eating maybe half an
0:32
hour 45 minutes before you work out just
0:34
to make sure that it is digested with a
0:37
lot of nutrition
0:39
best answer for you as an individual is
0:41
what suits you and your lifestyle best
0:45
is breakfast really that important well
0:48
that depends on the person for some
0:50
people they don't need to do breakfast
0:52
at all and they might suit a lifestyle
0:54
that uses something like intermittent
0:55
fasting where they have their first meal
0:57
later in the day at lunchtime but for
0:59
some people breakfast can be a really
1:01
really important meal okay and the
1:03
reason for that is we know that
1:05
breakfast can help to set some people up
1:07
for a better diet throughout the rest of
1:09
the day so some people if they have a
1:12
good breakfast good can be a little bit
1:14
ambiguous but for people who have a good
1:16
breakfast earlier in the day it can stop
1:18
them from wanting to eat more during the
1:21
day or in the mid morning or something
1:23
like that so for some people having a
1:25
really really good breakfast can be
1:27
really really important for helping them
1:29
to eat healthier throughout the day also
1:32
for people who like to exercise in the
1:33
morning and really want to get the most
1:34
out of their training session having a
1:36
good breakfast beforehand can be a
1:37
really good option too so it depends on
1:40
the person
1:41
is there a Best Breakfast well funnily
1:44
enough that answer depends as well so
1:46
for example if somebody is eating a
1:47
breakfast because they want to go
1:48
training soon afterwards then the best
1:50
thing to do is have a really really easy
1:52
to digest breakfast well it's easy to
1:54
digest well it could be a protein shake
1:57
and it could be some really really easy
1:58
to digest carbohydrates could be fruit
2:00
or it could be something like porridge
2:02
or grains or even Something Like Rice
2:04
Krispies that will digest really really
2:06
quickly and help you with your training
2:08
sessions but for General Health I often
2:10
recommend to people to aim for a high
2:12
fiber high protein breakfast
2:15
that can be many many different things
2:17
but it can be some low-fat dairy
2:19
products it might be some eggs with
2:22
fruit with whole grains things like
2:24
porridge other types of cereal as well
2:26
could even be an omelette with some
2:28
vegetables but remember it depends on
2:31
the person I want their gold but really
2:32
aiming for protein and plenty of fiber
2:34
fruits vegetables whole grains is a good
2:37
idea for a healthy breakfast and a good
2:39
start to the day
2:40
what should you do if you feel queasy
2:42
immediately after you eat breakfast in
2:44
the morning well it depends on the
2:46
person but for some people it might be
2:47
better for you to just skip breakfast
2:49
altogether and wait a little bit later
2:50
in the day to have your breakfast or to
2:52
have lunch now if you know that that
2:55
doesn't work for you for example it
2:56
might make you feel really really hungry
2:58
and it might encourage you to binge
3:00
later on the day don't do that so what
3:01
you could do is instead of eating
3:03
immediately after you wake up you could
3:05
wait a little bit later so for example
3:07
if you normally eat as soon as you wake
3:09
up but before work maybe wait until you
3:11
get to work and have your breakfast
3:13
there that'll give you your digestive
3:15
system a chance to wake up so
3:17
another thing that you might be able to
3:19
do is maybe switch off what you're
3:20
having for breakfast so for example if
3:22
you're normally eating cereal maybe try
3:23
something different like scrambled eggs
3:25
for breakfast maybe that will sit with
3:27
you a little bit better in the morning
3:28
okay try different things try different
3:31
times try different quantities of food
3:32
that might help you out
3:34
why do some people get really hungry
3:37
really soon after eating breakfast well
3:39
that is a really common question that I
3:42
get and one of the easiest ways to do it
3:43
is to look at what somebody's eating
3:45
oftentimes people will have a bowl of
3:47
cereal with a little bit of milk for
3:48
breakfast and that's it now the problem
3:50
with that is it tends to be low in two
3:53
really important things that help us
3:55
feel full it's low in fiber and it's low
3:57
in protein so what can you do instead
3:59
well you can have some protein with your
4:01
breakfast now you can do that by just
4:02
having a protein shake with breakfast or
4:04
you can have some high protein low fat
4:06
dairy products you could have some eggs
4:08
and having some fiber rich foods in your
4:11
diet so you can have some whole grains
4:13
things like oats barley things like
4:15
musli or adding things like even
4:17
vegetables to scrambled eggs or you can
4:20
add fruit to your breakfast as well what
4:22
you want to do is you want to add all of
4:24
these foods that improve satiety so
4:26
fiber and protein and food volume that
4:29
will help you keep feeling Fuller for
4:31
longer
