A few years ago ago I weight about 210lbs and now I’m sitting at a lean, ripped and healthy185lbs
The biggest part of my loss was tweaking my nutrition – not going diet crazy – just a few things that really made a difference.
Eating breakfast was the key.
Many people trying to lose weight skip breakfast so they can save some calories.
NO NO NO!
This is a big mistake. Blood sugar is the body’s most powerful hunger signal. During sleep, your body uses much of the carbohydrate stores in the liver that help maintain healthy levels of blood sugar.
If you skip breakfast, low blood sugar triggers the hunger center in your brain. The hunger signals can be so powerful that you overcompensate and eat too much at lunch, or snack on bad food for the rest of the day.
The University of Colorado researchers* found that people who eat breakfast maintain weight loss better than those who don’t. In the study, breakfast eaters burned up more calories during the day – probably because they had more energy.
Using homemade breakfast smoothies using real whole food is a quick and easy way to get all the vitamins and nutrients you need to get the day started
You breakfast smoothies should contain complex carbs (fruit or oatmeal), protein and healthy fats along with some greens if possible
Having a breakfast smoothie when there is no time to cook anything, can hold off the hunger monster for hours and kick start your metabolism to burn fat.
Eating breakfast is that it aids in weight management, it fuels the body to help provide energy, helps to give you better concentration and problem-solving ability throughout the day.
DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST!

Funk’s Secrets Tips to making this Smoothie
Oatmeal
I use Oatmeal in this smoothie because it keeps you full and provides the body with glycogen to help improve stamina throughout your workout. It is also a whole grain, which will keep your blood sugar stable.
Banana
I use the banana for it’s potassium, great taste and since it’s a complex carbohydrate it will keep you energized throughout your session.
