If you\u2019re changing to any kind of new eating plan, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll struggle with breakfast. This is because in western culture, breakfast is often some combination of toast, cereal and juice, and when those options are taken away, it can be disorienting.<\/p>\n

4 tips for new thinking about breakfast<\/h4>\n

The first thing I\u2019m here to tell you \u2013 breakfast is just another meal, there\u2019s nothing special about it. Anything you can have for lunch, or dinner, or a midnight snack \u2013 guess what? You can have it for breakfast too.<\/p>\n

The second is that we want to get away from the whole high carb paradigm, especially first thing in the morning (or whenever you choose to have your breakfast). Eating too much carbohydrate, and not balancing it with protein and fat, is a first class way to unbalance your blood sugar levels. So start thinking of how you can make sure you\u2019ve also got some protein and some good fats<\/a> into your breakfast.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, if you\u2019re doing any of the eating plans above, or just trying out a few new recipes to see how you feel \u2013 food cooked yourself from real, preferably fresh and organic, ingredients is always going to nourish you better than something processed.<\/p>\n

Fourth \u2013 plan. You know the saying \u201cFail to plan is planning to fail\u201d. I wouldn\u2019t go that far, but I do know that having a weekly meal plan has got me out of many a hole. You don\u2019t have to go with the plan if something else appeals, but at the end of a long day, being able to just eat what you planned, instead of having to think about it, helps a lot.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some actual recipes now<\/h4>\n
