GO SAVOURY
Tucking into sweet stuff first thing can cause blood sugar levels to soar and crash, leaving you hungry. Instead, go for savoury and try to include protein, fibre and healthy fats. A healthy fry-up is ideal. “Scrambled or poached eggs with cooked mushrooms, tomatoes and wholemeal toast, followed by a palmful of berries, for example,” says Thalia. Scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast makes a good quick alternative. “If savoury doesn’t appeal, a healthy compromise could be French toast,” she says. “I like to add cinnamon and vanilla to the beaten egg.” Serve with berries, Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey.
