For the rest of this week, I will be posting the 6 meal/day plan that I recommend for most people. 6 small meals is really a far better way to eat than 3 large meals. With 6 small meals, you don’t get as hungry and so you don’t eat too much at each meal. I know that it is hard to fit this into a lot of people’s schedules, but with a little planning, most folks can do. The benefits are really impressive, so give it a try.

Meal 1- Breakfast- Yes, you do have time!

You’ve probably heard it all your life and ignored it most of the time, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately, most people skip breakfast and either get something unhealthy from a drive-through or just wait until lunch to eat. The solution is really easy and simple- instant oatmeal, yogurt and fruit. You can get the instant oatmeal in a whole variety of flavors and it even comes in low sugar form. Quaker has a whole line of oatmeal and most supermarket chains have their own house brands which are just as good and a lot cheaper. Make it with lowfat milk and then have some fruit with it and you have an excellent 90 second breakfast. Really, no excuses! this is a 90 second solution and it even has the added benefit of lowering cholesterol in most people.

Stay away from the giant muffins and other “fast” breakfast alternatives since they have virtually no nutritional value and are loaded with fat and sugar. Also, stay away from the high sugar and fat coffee drinks at places like Starbucks since they can easily have 400-500 calories and no real nutritional value (In other word, they make you fat). Drinking stuff like that wreaks havoc on your blood sugar levels and gives you a bad start to the day.
