Ensure that your breakfast and lunch contain a good source of protein & fat. Examples could include bacon & eggs, salmon salad over greens, gluten-free oats with nuts, seeds, coconut flakes & collagen powder, a green salad with chicken, or a smoothie containing fruit🍓, veggies🥬, protein or collagen powder and a fat such as avocado 🥑 or nut butter.
​Including protein & fat will provide your body with long-lasting physical & mental energy and prevent blood sugar spikes and then the subsequent crashes 🤯 that are associated with carbohydrate-based meals.
