Most Important Meal of the Day?

Written by Staff Writer - Posted on 9 February 2011

Q: What is the most important meal of the day? I’ll give you a hint:

A: It’s breakfast!

If you answered brunch, lunch, snack time, dinner, supper or anything other than breakfast, I have to burst your bubble just a bit. It’s definitely breakfast and for good reason.

For starters, don’t those breakfasts look incredibly delicious? Who wouldn’t want to eat tasty meals like that to start off the day. Or how about an omelette? Waffles? Yogourt and granola? Eggs Benny? There are tons of options for you! And if you are in a rush in the morning, grab a more portable breakfast, like toast or a hearty smoothie.

Studies have shown that eating breakfast is one of the keys to staying healthy and that people who begin their days with this meal are less likely to become obese, have blood sugar problems and overeat the rest of the day. When you wake up, feeding your body will boost your energy levels and you’ll be able to function much better for the rest of your day. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? And it is quite possibly a very simple solution to your health and weight loss efforts. Give yourself time in the morning for a healthy breakfast. Add some PGX and you’re golden!

Boosting Your Diet with Healthy Food Substitutes

Written by Staff Writer - Posted on 8 February 2011

Steven and Chris give your diet a health kick with these food substitutions.

Knowing how to adjust our diets without compromising taste can be tricky. Luckily for us, Steven and Chris talked to nutritionist, Peggy Kotsopoulos and did some of the research for us!

Every once in a while (or often if you’re like me) we can get cravings; the kind that almost never coincides with our big plans to eat healthy and maintain or lose weight. Not all of us can cut out the sweets, or the chips and dip, cold turkey. Luckily, with some small adjustments, we can keep the flavours, satisfy cravings, and boost our health.

That jam and bread looks pretty good doesn’t it? I’m not your diet-busting demon, I promise! It is possible to get those flavours without completely ruining your efforts for a healthy lifestyle. Peggy Kotsopoulos, resident nutritionist on the Steven and Chris show, has some great tips on how we can make healthier substitutions without feeling deprived.
