If you must eat breakfast have a fruit breakfast, leaving lunch and
dinner for a starch and protein choice.
Breakfast, the great English tradition is a great example of
a generally accepted habit that we can be better off without. When
you wake in the morning, you have been fasting for 10+ hours. So
why do we eat immediately upon rising, are we truly hungry? I do
not eat breakfast, but drink a lemon water or a freshly squeezed
juice (and not the lifeless packaged stuff) two or more hours after
waking, then eat a light fruit or green salad brunch another hour or
so after. The Old Testament condemns eating in the morning and
so do I. Eating a heavy breakfast of negative foods in the morning
is possibly one of the major causes of great decline in the health
of western nations. The reason we think we feel energised after
eating in the morning is because the system has stopped cleaning
itself. This kind of energy is short-term - similar to a sugar boost.
Just a little food breaks your fast and the energy is transferred
back into digestion rather than useful cleansing. If you start your
day with lemon water, then fruits later on before you go into the
harder to digest food then you will start to feel the long-term
benefits- true sustainable energy. Give your body a chance to
clean, generally the more unpleasant you feel in the beginning the
more you need to rest and clean.
A heavy breakfast eaten before work causes
complications. Work and digestion cannot efficiently occur at the
same time. As work is carried out by the minds will, our vital
energy is monopolised and there is little left for digestion, which
causes fermentation and purification. It is most beneficial to eat
the main meal of the day after finishing all the work of the day and
not before. It is a myth that we need to start the day with a big
breakfast. Doing without heavy food can only increase energy
levels, if only our minds would believe it.
While we still choose to eat a main meal it is best to eat it
in the middle of the day, remembering to rest for an hour or two
