I Ate Vegetables For Breakfast Every Day For a Month
I Ate Veggies For Breakfast Every Day For 1 Month — Here's How It Affected Sugar Cravings
4
Like I've said before, I love eating veggies, and eating them for breakfast for one month just made me love them even more. It solidified what I already know — eating veggies makes me feel awesome! I felt more energetic, and experienced what Chef AJ said I would — reduced sugar cravings! I was shocked, and so grateful. I no longer wanted to eat something sweet all day long. I still had sugar cravings here and there, but they were dramatically decreased.
Filling up on veggies first thing made me feel fuller and more satisfied, and I noticed that I was less hungry throughout the day. It also inspired me to make more healthy choices when it came to eating, but also motivated me to want to move a little more, and take more time for self-care. My digestion felt great, I slept well, and felt energetic for my morning 10,000-metre rows.
I honestly thought I wouldn't enjoy eating veggies for breakfast, and that I'd only last one week. But I'm loving it so much and am so excited about this new feel-good habit, that I'm even taking selfies with my veggies (wow, I've hit a new level of plant-based living!). I'm definitely going to continue this practice.
The one negative about this new habit, and the one thing I feel badly about, is the numerous plastic bags that are being wasted. The convenience of the freezer bags was key to help me stick with this the first few weeks, but now that I'm loving it enough to keep going, and I'm actually craving veggies for breakfast, I need to stop buying the frozen bags. I have these reusable produce bags, so I'm planning to buy massive amounts of veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, courgette, mushrooms, and bell peppers to eat for breakfast (on top of all the other veggies I already buy for the rest of my meals). It'll take some extra meal-prep time, but the bonus is that it'll encourage me to eat more of a variety of in-season veggies in the morning.
