Start Your Day Right With Breakfast Bar Stools
How well a day goes is determined by how it started. We’ve all heard it before – when you’re cranky, you got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. There’s also no agony worse than the agony of nursing a hangover the morning after a drunken night out. Indeed, mornings can be grueling; and as the day progresses, they can become even more so. Mornings, however, can also be very enjoyable. After all, it plays host to the most important meal of the day – breakfast. Breakfast is a good time to rub the sleep out of your eyes, condition yourself for the full day ahead, and simply relax and take a breather. What better way to enjoy your breakfast of eggs Benedict, toast, and freshly brewed coffee in style than to be perched atop breakfast bar stools.
The Power Meal
Breakfast is a relaxed and laid-back activity; therefore, it is more than inappropriate to use the formal dining room for this fun feast. For the family on the rush, breakfast is often hurriedly taken on the kitchen counter for the sake of sustenance. The meal becomes sorely unappreciated. More and more people, however, are starting to see the benefits of having a nice, peaceful breakfast and what it could do to the soul. Many a breakfast is now enjoyed al fresco in the garden or the pool side for a breath of fresh air. It is also no longer uncommon to design a breakfast nook in one’s house. Most breakfast nooks often come with a view, or a zen-like atmosphere at the very least. Breakfast nooks are equipped with fashionable counters and even more fashionable breakfast bar stools. You can literally feel the morning’s arduous demands slip away as you sip on your foamy latte and read the morning’s newspaper while you casually sit on one of your artsy breakfast bar stools.
Breakfast and Weight Loss
Some people think that skipping breakfast will help them lose weight. It won’t.
Studies show a direct link between breakfast and successful weight loss, and that compared to breakfast skippers, breakfast eaters generally:
o Eat fewer calories throughout the day
o Eat less saturated fat and cholesterol
o Have better nutrition habits
o Weigh less (women 4 kilograms (10 pounds) less, men 3 kilograms (7 pounds)less.
The key to successful Weight Loss.
The key to successful weight loss is burning more calories than we consume each day.
Our body burns calories 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. How quickly we burn those calories is called our metabolic rate.
Our individual metabolic rates change throughout the day and night, depending upon things like when we last ate and whether we are active or at rest.
Even though we burn calories while we are asleep, our metabolic rate slows dramatically during this time and we burn fewer calories per hour as a result.
(Now before you go planning to give up sleep to lose weight, which is definitely not the answer, let us tell you a better way).
The way to maximize the number of calories we burn each day is not to stay awake longer but to maximize our metabolic rate while we are awake.
This is where eating breakfast comes in.
Why breakfast is so important to Weight Loss.
