The Big Breakfast Diet

I recently acquired interest in the "Big Breakfast Diet." I use the principles loosely, as I approach all food claims skeptically. This diet is based on the age-old saying, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and follows the old wives tale "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." Most Americans eat a small breakfast (or none at all) or just a measly cup of coffee in the morning, a bigger lunch, and then they spend the most attention to dinner. This diet turns that scale around 180 degrees to focus the most on breakfast. One following the diet would eat a large breakfast (roughly 600 calories) and eat less and less as the day goes on (approximately 600 more calories split between lunch and dinner). This claims to work because it kick-starts your metabolism, allows your body to use the energy from the food, and satisfies cravings before they even occur.
This morning I made a wonderful big breakfast for me and my little brother. It was delicious and filling!

I cooked my scrambled eggs with leftover hot dog, mini peppers, Swiss cheese, slivered almonds, lime juice, cream cheese wedge, and basil leaves. I also had a small bowl of Kirkland Signature by Nature's Path Organic Ancient Grains Granola with Almonds with The Greek Gods Greek Yogurt. I had a side of cantaloupe and a glass of water with lemon juice, ice, and freshly picked raspberries.

Erik also had some cherries our dad picked yesterday from the trees in our yard. Erik gave me the idea to make this blog. Love you bro!
