As my regulars know…I try to post something different on the weekends…we have enough politics and economics through the week….so why not lighten up the tone a bit…….

As I post from time to time…”There Is A God”!  And everything your grandmother told you about breakfast…you know that it is the most important meal…..oops…she may not have been telling you stuff….she may have been smarter than you think….why?

Eat a Big Breakfast
It’s time to nix the oatmeal with skim milk. Instead, start your day with a fatty breakfast, including eggs and even a piece of bacon, suggests Molly Bray, PhD, lead author of a recent study showing that a fat-filled morning meal will jumpstart your metabolism for the day faster than a lowfat, low-calorie breakfast. Another study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who eat 22 to 55 percent of their total calories at breakfast gain 1.7 pounds over four years. That’s not bad considering those who eat 0 to 11 percent of their calories in the morning gain nearly 3 pounds.

So eat those eggs and bacon……and DO what your grandmother told you to do!

But there is more good news on the horizon…as a caffeine addict I knew deep down that I was doing something good…..

Opt for Caffeine
It’s time to hit Starbucks. A study published in the journal Physiology & Behavior shows that coffee drinkers have a 16 percent higher metabolic rate than those who abstain or drink decaf joe, because caffeine increases your heart rate and stimulates your central nervous system. Spread out the cups over your entire day to keep your metabolism running at a boosted rate—just be sure to have your last cup by early afternoon so you can hit the pillow with no problems later on.

See?  There is proof there is a God!

Amen!
