Big Breakfasts Help Shed Pounds

Here's another interesting article about a study that was done comparing people who ate a big breakfast and 1200 calories for the day with those that ate a small breakfast and 1000 calories low carb for the rest of the day.

After 4 months the small breakfast low carb diet group lost a little more weight than the big breakfast group. The 8 month mark was where it got really interesting. The small breakfast group had gained back almost all the weight they had lost and the big breakfast group kept the weight off and lost even more weight! Our bodies are amazing aren't they?

Part of the big breakfast included a protein shake. Here's the one I recommend. This was a sample big breakfast: "a cup of milk, turkey, cheese, two slices of bread, mayonnaise, 1 ounce of chocolate candy, and a protein shake. They could eat the breakfast in stages from the time they got up until 9 a.m."

My Weight Loss Story - How I did it and how I kept it off

I had tried to lose weight after my 3rd and 4th children and just couldn't seem to shake it no matter how much I exercised or "watched my portions". I always had this pouch in front and the more I exercised the bigger it seemed to get. Then a friend told me about a new technology that sounded too good to be true. We are all taught that if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. In this case I got some amazing results that some people still don't believe.

After using a 9 day program I was able to lose 11 pounds and almost 14"! I have kept that off for over a year now and lost several more pounds and kept that off too. My energy level increased and my mental clarity improved. This has been an incredible experience. I had an awesome coach who guided me every step of the way. Once I hit my goal weight I lost additional inches. I found it easy to stay on track and incorporate this as a life plan.
