Carol Whitaker Coaching

Is Your Breakfast Sabotaging Your Diet? Are you eating a breakfast of champions each morning? Many of my clients begin their coaching thinking they're healthy eaters, and for the most part they are. However, when I ask what their typical breakfast consist of, it’s common to hear, “I have oatmeal, orange juice, and toast for breakfast.” Little do they know that eating a high carbohydrate breakfast with little to no fat or protein actually is not a healthy breakfast—it’s a simple carb loaded breakfast, which spikes insulin and causes weight gain. They're correct that each food group is healthy, but coupled together without protein isn't as healthy as they may think.
