The Full English Breakfast Replacement

I decided in the last couple of weeks to ditch the Full english for breakfast or some days the a half english breakfast.

In the last 6 months I have put on in excess of 1 stone or 14 plus pounds (1 sounds better than 14- but when you lose 14 sounds better than 1 !!). The main reason for the increase is limited exercise and when dropping daughter off at school there was a convenient breakfast place nearby for a quick brekkie and a large coffee.

What has prompted me was two things obviously the weight increase and general tiredness I was feeling and also the breakfast place on the board decided it was a good idea to put the number of calories and grammes of fat beside each choice. It startled me as I was nearly consuming 2/3 of my daily aloowance and way over the fat content. No wonder I was feeling sluggish and lethargic.

My wife does sell the very answer but at the time was not interested. So I started on the products. Essentially I have a Protein shake each morning. This is a combination of a strawberry flavoured (there are another 7 different flavours) soya protein powder and I mix this with apple juice and shake until the consistency is mixed then place in the fridge overnight to give it a thicker volume.

I did this for the last two weeks which is about half a tub. Each Morning I had this shake before the school run and was instantly full and ready to go. The fuel inside my body saw me through to lunchtime no problem with out the need to eat. Often after a full english I would be picking again, but the shakes did the job, saved me money and lost weight. In those 2 weeks I lost 7 pounds and 2 inches of my waist. My energy has soared as now drinking plenty of water instead of coffee and my habits have changed. Now doubt I will have the odd full english but to me this has replaced it and I feel a lot better for it.
