We've been so conditioned to compartmentalize what type of food is appropriate for a certain meal. Popular breakfast choices like muffins, breads, pancakes waffles, sugary breakfast juices (just to name a few) set up the blood sugar and insulin response for a roller coaster reaction, and the inevitable crash. This leads to mid-morning hunger along with cravings for more processed carbs. The same goes for lunch, mid-afternoon snack......you get the picture. It eventually becomes a vicious cycle that leads to arterial inflammation and unhealthy weight gain. We need to unlearn what we've been told about food choice. Plus it gives us more options for each meal; and as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life. Exactly.
