​I bet you already know that starting your day off eating the right foods is incredibly important when it comes to getting results and getting results fast...

And in our experience, there are certain foods that are better to eat in the morning than others. 

That's not to say that you can never eat the foods we are about to talk about. In fact...

You can eat these foods weekly. We've just found that there are better times to eat them as you will see below.

For years, my husband, Dennis, and I tested just about every diet imaginable. And through all this testing and working with clients from all over the world, we have figured out what works and what doesn't. 

And a few years ago we stumbled upon a strategy called "Carb Cycling" and have never looked back.

If you aren't familiar with Carb Cycling, it is when you alternate between eating days of higher amounts of carbs and days of eating lower amounts of carbs. And it's this strategy that allows you to eat lots of amazing carbs (like the ones below) while getting the results you want.

And depending on what your goal is, will determine what Carb Cycle Schedule is right for you. Take our Carb Cycling Quiz on the next page to see which Carb Cycle Schedule is best for you. Now let's discuss those 5 foods we never eat in the morning and why (and when you should eat them instead)...

5 foods to never eat in the morning...

They Are...​

CEREAL

Cereal has been one of the most popular breakfast foods since it was invented in 1863. Yet...

Most cereals these days are jam packed with sugar, artificial ingredients, and preservatives which have close to zero nutritional value. 

Lots of cereals may have the “heart healthy” or “fat free” label, even when there is virtually zero nutritional value, which is incredibly misleading.

While the label-makers may have good intentions in guiding consumers, there are simple facts that are not considered before awarding such labels as “heart healthy”, to many cereals...

The regulations are not very “strict” for being labeled “heart healthy” and don’t account for a lot of the extra ingredients that are included in these cereals…

In addition, the labels don’t take into account for HOW the processing affects the nutritional outcome of the ingredients… By this I mean that the processing that it takes to create cereal often strips out any nutritional value that the ingredients once had...

This is one of the biggest problems with cereal in addition to processed ingredients... It’s how it’s made!

The processing that it takes to get many cereals into their flake, square or other shapes takes grinding the grains into a flour, mixing it with water and other ingredients, applying tons of heat and pressure, which essential strips the grains of any nutrients they once had.

So even though you may be eating "whole grain" cereal, the majority of the nutrients ​are dead and gone...

BREADS

While bread is tasty, the same problems persist as with cereal…

Bread has little nutritional value because of processing and artificial ingredients that are difficult for your body to digest....

In addition, bread is very high on the glycemic index, which causes your blood sugar to spike and then crash, leaving you feeling tired and lethargic...

One of the most popular breakfast breads is BAGELS. And although this may be a popular choice, it's actually one we NEVER recommend having in the morning... 

This isn't to say that you can never eat bread or a bagel. We LOVE bread, and actually eat it weekly. You just need to make sure you eat it strategically, as we will show you after you take the quiz on the next page...

BANANAS

You may be really confused with why bananas are on the list of breakfast foods to avoid.

First, understand that we are NOT saying bananas are bad...

We are just saying they aren't the best to eat in the morning...​

When eaten strategically and at the right times, bananas are an amazing fuel source.

However, there are a couple of reasons to avoid eating bananas right away in the morning on an empty stomach…

Bananas are one of the more carb-heavy fruits and they contain a high amount of natural sugars (nearly 25%!).

While these carbs and natural sugars aren’t necessarily bad, eating bananas on an empty stomach causes your insulin levels to spike, while your body is in the process of slowly digesting the carbohydrates and fiber in the bananas.

Instead, we've found that the best time to eat bananas is pre or post workout or as a afternoon snack since this is when you will be able to use those carbs and natural sugar for recovery and fat burning.

If you still want to have your morning banana, try eating it with some protein and healthy fats, or on your "Higher Carb Day" as we will discuss on the NEXT PAGE...

ORANGE JUICE

Now, this may or may not be surprising to you… Traditionally, OJ is viewed as a staple to a “balanced breakfast” because it is high in Vitamin C.

While Orange Juice has a relatively high amount of Vitamin C, this doesn’t make up for the ridiculously high sugar content.

This makes OJ equivalent to drinking a can of Coke when you compare the sugar content… And that includes the “no sugar added” kinds of juice too. I know, it’s shocking!

Essentially, the benefits of the vitamins, don’t outweigh the overwhelming amount of sugar...

"So What Do I Do Next?"

​Like we mentioned earlier, this isn't to say that you can NEVER eat these foods, we've just found that eating them strategically through Carb Cycling brings much better results. And...

There are plenty of incredibly delicious alternatives that you can have for your first meal of the day that will benefit you and your metabolism much more!
