How to start?

A/ Breakfast

Sugarcoated breakfast started only from the middle of the 20^th century.

Food industry created the dried cereals breakfast. It was cheap to produce and easy to box to sell worldwide.

It became a huge business success and a catastrophe for public health.

Traditional breakfasts were made to provide energy with oatmeal, stews and different soups to work in farms. They were able to deliver proteins, fats, and minerals to let people feeling full and had the energy to work outdoors.

When sugar became cheap, sweetness became the signature of processed food, it was praised worldwide. It was obvious to see a growing global sugar addiction with a growing food industry.

After a sugar-coated breakfast, we see a pic in the blood sugar, then a low level creating hunger. The companies created energy bars, a pure variety of sugars.

And so on, goes the day every 3 hours a processed product, drink or food is going to add empty calories instead of a nutritious meal.

A breakfast loaded with proteins, vegetal fats, and fibers, delivers energy, keeps you alert and feeling full until the next meal.

B/ Lunch, dinner, and snack for the rest of the day

A salad for lunch, a soup for dinner. This is almost correct, if you read the labels, be sure to buy soup and dressing without added sugar, to avoid to add sugar-calories called now empty calories.

Sugar is addictive.

This will calm your hunger and let you feel full all day long.

Snack with raw veggies, plain or with your own dip.

Buy Organic as often as you can.
