The Meat and Nut Breakfast

A breakfast that is currently growing in popluarity at the moment is the meat and nut breakfast. I myself have followed this breakfast plan and have noticed increased mental focus and increased energy levels throughout the day. The meat allows for a slow steady rise in blood sugar. The nuts provide a great source of healthy 'smart' fats that allow the blood sugar levels to remain stable for an extended period of time.

The main benefits of this diet include:

• High mental alertness
• Better decision making throughout the day related to food choices
• Increased protein synthesis
• Decrease food allergies
• Higher energy
• Decreased insulin sensitivity
• Feeling full for longer therefore less cravings
• Reduced body fat levels
• Increased muscle tone
