First Meal… breakfast
Best Choice: fully self-Prepared meals
The healthiest method to consume the first day’s meal is by making it at home; as you prepare your breakfast, you can see exactly how it’s done and what ingredients go into it; thus, avoiding the unnecessary condiments, agents, or inorganic matter normally seen in meals we don’t prepare! Examples of morning meals are egg-whites, plain bagels, white or baked sweet potatoes, ham, (not baked) fruit, H20, skim or 1% milk, oatmeal, and in the consumption model, we have a several breakfast recipes that may appeal to you so please visit that area.
Second choice: packaged meals in stores
Although prepared meals from supermarkets don’t pose a major threat, they’re often accompanied with high sodium; so, the best way to combat this is not only by not adding additional salt, but more so electing to choose meals low in sodium if you have to choose the packaged meal route. Also, study the nutritional facts on the packages to ensure little if any hydrogenated fats are not included in the meal preparation.
Third choice: supplements/powder meals
Supplements provide a less time consuming alternative to fast food options, and are absorbed into the system much faster. Most supplements are extracts of most organic matter, and although supplements and powder meals have no malicious ingredients, they may cause other issues such as hunger, diarrhea, bowel movement, gas, and bloating. During the mid 90s, I experimented with Whey, Soy, and other forms of supplements, but I did not like them because I developed a feeling of emptiness or weakness. For some of you the side effects I encountered may not be the case, however; for me, it just did not feel right or gratifying as when you finish consuming a meal. I also didn’t feel strong at the gym. So, after about 6 months or so, I terminated the use of supplements.
Final Choice: Fast Food Restaurants
There is a new way to consume healthy meals, and this option, I am grateful because the idea of having healthy choice meals from restaurants that only cater to healthy choices is great! These meals are carefully prepared to include only condiments that are healthier than with traditional restaurants, and use lower than normal sodium. So keep in eye out for those smaller mom and pop places or small business restaurants; they are harder to find, but not impossible. The meals are not only healthier but they taste great too.
