Do you ever wonder what is a healthy breakfast to eat when losing fat?  You may be shocked when I tell you what we are eating…

When you walk into the supermarket, it can be very overwhelming with the amount of breakfast cereal choices there are.  I do wonder who ever thought up the fact that we should eat cereal for breakfast?  I mean honestly, why should breakfast be different than any other meal?  Why not meat and potatoes, fish, sandwich, etc?

Getting serious… Breakfast should consist of whole foods, like every other meal.  Whether it’s smoked salmon and eggs or veggies, eggs and bacon, leftovers from dinner (assuming it was made with whole foods) etc…

Also, breakfast should be one of your biggest meals of the day.  You need the most energy in the morning to help sustain you throughout the day.  Many people get this backwards and eat big dinners.  Think about that… eating lots of food when you are about to rest.  Your body doesn’t need the energy and it takes lots of energy to break it down, so while it’s meant to be resting overnight, it’s now got to work to break down the food.  So… start your day with a big meal and end it with a smaller one.

Now… what do we eat in the mornings that keeps us losing fat?  On our plates you will find some fresh greens like kale, chards, collard greens, spinach, and sometimes we have this thing called tatsoi.  Our 11 month young loves mushrooms, so we usually have those with zucchini and avocado as well.  We also have bacon, eggs and sometimes sausage and/or steak or kangaroo.

The reason why we eat this is because it has whole foods, lots of really fantastic nutrients for us. It’s real food. Plus it’s good to have protein in the morning. It helps sustains our energy throughout the whole day. Some people might need more veggie than what we have on our plate. Overall though, it’s really good to start digging it in the morning actually eating real food. If it were up to me, I’d be skipping the cereals in a box that you can buy in the grocery store and go with something that’s “real”.

Some people say that eating breakfast like these that are actually quite high in protein and fat would say that you can’t lose weight eating breakfast like that. Let me just tell you both of us are down quite a lot of fat on our bodies.  So far I’m up to 12 and a half centimeters gone from my waist and about 11 centimeters from my hips. Hugh’s down 14% body fat in the last few months and this is the type of food we eat every single morning. So, yes, it is possible.

So after Part 1 of What your poo is tell you,  you came back for a bit more fun and heaps more insight.

Here are 5 more poo descriptions to contemplate…

Floaters Vs. Sinkers
It can be so embarrassing when you are at a friend’s place or a public toilet and you turn around to see your poo floating.  You flush the toilet and it doesn’t go down.  You think to yourself, “Oh No! Please go down!”  You flush again and start to run out of water and flushes.  Luckily this time it goes down.  Don’t you hate it when it doesn’t and you leave it floating there for the next person to find?

Why does that happen?  It’s most likely due to gas and fat in your diet.  You may have noticed at the same time that you are also farting a bit more than usual.  Next time you go to eat the 3rd burger from McDonald’s you may want to think again!

A little something you can try if this does happen to you… Put extra water in the toilet.  This should give it a bit more force to flush the floater down.

Beer Bog
Need we say more? If you have had a big night out and have woken up with a hangover, this is most likely the result of your drinking.  It will often be semi-solid, have stomach pains as you pass it and will have the smell of the bar that you left at 4am.

This occurs because your body wants to eliminate the toxins quickly.  The process of creating the poo is sped up and not all the liquid is absorbed, resulting in runny poos.

Pebble Poo
These are frustrating.  You have just sat down and worked to get out your poo only to see little pebbles in the toilet when you have finished.  It is so anti-climatic.

The very simple solution to this is to eat more fibre.  The lack of fibre in your diet is allowing for a lack of production of a sticky substance that holds your poo together.

Log Jam
Otherwise known as constipation.  You sit on the toilet with pains in your stomach and gas and a desire to poo, but nothing comes out!  How unrewarding and unpleasant.

Up your intake of water and fibre.  If this persists, you may need to get a colonic to flush out your system and unblock what you have been building up.  Look for a well-trained practitioner in your local area.  And check out my article on cleansing if you want more information about colonics.

Ring Of Fire
As you sit down to have your comfortable poo, you are unpleasantly surprised by a burning sensation that makes you think your bum is on fire.

The likely cause for this is chilli or other spicy foods.  Think about it, it probably felt the same way going in as it did coming out!

See… Poo can be fun!  My husband and I talk about our poos most days.  (No, I’m not lying!)  We definitely celebrate the majority of the days that we have those perfect poos that come out nice and easy, leave no smell and are clean to wipe.  I love those ones!

We are also aware that if we go a couple days without perfect poos, we have to adjust something in our diet.  It’s just that simple.

The information in this article is taken from a book called What’s Your Poo Telling You? By Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, MD.  I have left most of the names of the poos in the article the same as the book.  They are just too funny to change!
