Question #2
Are you more of an “on the go” breakfast eater or do you make a hearty breakfast every morning?
Good for you!

We know life can get crazy, but make sure you take time for yourself in the morning to get a good meal in!
Studies have shown that if you’re able to get in a hearty breakfast in the morning then are more likely to feel satiated throughout the day (so you won’t even look twice at that pastry in the breakroom).
