'Asian Diet' Might Be Overrated
The
"Asian diet" is often
touted as one of the healthiest in the world.
But after living in Asia for 6 years, I'm not 100% convinced this is
true
(people everywhere
really struggle with healthy food, in my opinion).
But what is really great in
Thailand in particular is that traditionally,
breakfast doesn't exist. Breakfast is just like lunch, which is just like dinner.
Meal times are treated pretty much the same. It's a time for real food,
not for
sweet muffins or processed breakfast cereals.
This simple shift away from sugar and wheat for breakfast can have a
profound
impact on your health.
It certainly did for me, I'll tell you that.
It takes some getting used to eating real food for breakfast, and
sometimes it
does take more
time to prepare (let's be honest), but it's well worth it.
Here are a few tips for eating real food for breakfast:
- Intentionally
make too much food for dinner each night, then eat the
leftovers for breakfast.
- Chop
and wash veggies and store them in the refrigerator so you can quickly
steam them in the morning (serve with olive oil, lemon & sea
salt).
- If
you're going to do juices in the morning, try to eat fruit and juice
vegetables (keeps the fiber with the sugary stuff, removes the fiber
from the mineral-dense
stuff).
- Keep
some high-quality protein and fats on hand so you can make a quick,
balanced shake if you're really in a rush.
Stay
bendy,
