Do you wake up late and run to work without eating anything?

Or do you skip breakfast because you think it will help you lose weight?

Welcome back to Everyday English Talk.

I'm Ben.

And I'm Anna.

Hello everyone.

Today we are talking about a very interesting health topic.

It is a big question for many people.

Exactly.

We are looking at morning habits.

Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?

I am always too busy for breakfast.

And I want to lose fat,

so I just drink black coffee.

Is that bad, Ben?

Oh, I definitely think you need to change that habit.

Let's get into it.

So, let's talk about the problem first.

Every morning, my alarm rings and I am already late.

I have no time to cook.

That is a very normal morning for many people.

So, what do you do about food?

I do not eat anything.

I completely skip my breakfast.

I just drink a large cup of black coffee and run out the door.

To skip something means you choose not to do it.

You choose not to eat your morning meal.

Exactly.

I skip it because I am busy,

but also for another reason.

I read on the internet that not eating in the morning is a great way to burn fat.

Ah, yes.

Many people talk about intermittent fasting right now.

It is a very popular trend to lose weight.

Right.

So I think, this is perfect.

I save time and I get thin.

But there is a big problem.

What happens when you get to the office?

How do you feel?

For the first hour, I feel okay because of the coffee.

But around 10 or 11 o'clock, I feel terrible.

How exactly do you feel terrible?

Tell me the symptoms.

I feel incredibly hungry.

My stomach makes loud noises.

I feel very tired.

My hands start to shake a little bit,

and I cannot focus on my work at all.

That sounds awful.

Your brain is basically shutting down before lunchtime.

Yes.

I look at the clock and wait for lunchtime like a crazy person.

Why does this happen?

I thought skipping breakfast was a healthy hack for my body.

That is a very big misconception.

A wrong idea.

People think they can trick their bodies.

They think, if I eat less often,

I will automatically lose weight and look great.

That is exactly what I thought.

I thought my body would just use my belly fat for energy.

It sounds logical, but your body does not work like a simple machine.

When you do not eat for a very long time, your body panics.

It thinks you are starving

so my body thinks there is no food in the world yes

and because of this panic you actually create more problems for your weight

and your health wow so my morning coffee habit is actually making me tired

and not helping me lose weight exactly we need to look inside the body to see what happens

when you go to work with an empty stomach let's find

out the truth welcome back everyone let's look at the facts first we need to carefully understand what happens

while you are sleeping at night

well i am just resting in my bed my body is doing nothing at all not exactly your body is resting

but it is also fasting that means you are not eating

or drinking anything for seven or eight hours

that is true i definitely do not eat while i am asleep

so when you wake up in the morning your blood sugar is naturally very low blood sugar what does

that phrase mean blood sugar is the main energy floating in

your blood it comes directly from the food you eat it is the essential energy

that makes your brain think and your muscles move.

Okay, I understand that.

So in the morning, my blood sugar is very low because I haven't eaten food for a very long time.

Yes, think about your mobile phone.

When you wake up, your phone battery is at 100% because you plugged it in all night.

But your human body's battery,

your blood sugar, is completely empty.

Oh, so my body battery is almost dead when I wake up.

Exactly.

And what do you do?

You go straight to the office.

You use your brain to read complex emails.

You use your body to walk around.

But you do not give your body any new energy.

No wonder my hands shake at 11 o'clock.

My poor brain has zero energy to work.

Right.

This brings us to fact number two, the dangerous overeating trap.

The overeating trap?

But I am trying to eat less food so I can lose weight.

100

I know you are trying to be healthy,

101

but when your blood sugar is extremely low, your brain panics.

102

It sends a very strong emergency signal to your stomach.

103

What kind of emergency signal?

104

The signal makes you crave bad food.

105

To crave means to want to eat something very, very badly.

106

You cannot stop thinking about the food.

107

That is so incredibly true.

108

At 11 o'clock, I don't want a healthy green salad.

109

I crave a huge greasy hamburger,

110

or a big slice of pizza, or three chocolate donuts.

111

exactly When you are starving,

112

you do not make smart, healthy choices.

113

You just want fast energy right now.

114

So, when lunchtime finally comes,

115

you eat way too much food.

116

You eat many more calories than if you had just eaten a normal breakfast.

117

Oh no. So I skip breakfast to lose weight,

118

but then I eat a giant lunch and gain weight instead?

119

That is terrible.

120

Yes, that is the trap.

121

So, what is the best solution?

122

How do we fix this morning problem easily?

123

Please tell me, Ben.

124

I want to have good energy,

125

and I do not want to crave donuts every day at my desk.

126

Solution number one is very simple.

127

You must fuel up your body in the morning.

128

Fuel up?

129

Like putting gas in a car at a gas station?

130

Yes, exactly.

131

To fuel up means to give your body the energy it needs to start the day.

132

If you want to drive a car,

133

you have to put gas in it first.

134

If you want to use your brain,

135

you must put food in your stomach first.

136

That makes perfect sense to me.

137

I cannot drive an empty car,

138

so I need to fuel up.

139

But Ben, what should I eat?

140

Can I just eat a sweet cookie with my coffee?

141

No, that is the worst thing you can do for your body.

142

A sweet cookie will give you energy for 20 minutes and then you will crash and feel tired again.

143

This is solution number two.

144

You need a protein-rich breakfast.

145

Protein-rich?

146

What kind of food is that?

147

Is it hard to find?

148

Not at all.

149

Protein-rich food simply has a lot of protein in it.

150

Protein is the strong stuff that builds your muscles and keeps your stomach feeling full for a very long time.

151

Great examples are eggs, milk,

152

plain yogurt, chicken, or nuts.

153

Oh, I see.

154

So a protein-rich meal is much better than a sugary sweet meal.

155

Much better.

156

If you eat two boiled eggs and an apple,

157

your blood sugar will go up slowly and stay perfectly steady.

158

You will have great, calm energy all morning.

159

You will not feel hungry at all until lunchtime.

160

That sounds absolutely amazing.

161

But Ben, we still have a big problem.

162

What is the problem, Anna?

163

I told you, I am always late in the morning.

164

I do not have time to cook eggs or fry chicken.

165

I only have 5 minutes before I have to leave my house.

166

That is a very common problem for busy people.

167

And that is exactly why we have solution number 3.

168

Prepare your food the night before.

169

Prepare it at night?

170

Like, cook my breakfast after I eat my dinner?

171

Yes, it is so incredibly easy.

172

You can boil three or four eggs on Sunday night and keep them safe in the fridge.

173

In the morning, you just take one egg,

174

peel the shell, and eat it.

175

It takes one minute.

176

Wow, that is really fast.

177

And an egg is a great protein-rich food, right?

178

Yes, it is perfect.

179

Or, you can put some dry oats and milk in a glass jar before you go to sleep.

180

Put it in the fridge overnight.

181

In the morning, you have a delicious,

182

cold meal, completely ready to eat.

183

That is brilliant.

184

I do not have to cook anything in the morning.

185

I can just open the fridge,

186

take my prepared food, and fuel up my body.

187

Exactly.

188

It only takes five short minutes of planning at night to save your entire morning.

189

You will have more steady energy,

190

you will work much better,

191

and you will not gain weight from eating fast food at lunch.

192

This is wonderful, practical advice, Ben.

193

I am going to boil some eggs tonight.

194

Tomorrow morning, I will definitely not skip my breakfast.

195

So, let's quickly recap today's episode.

196

Skipping breakfast can make you very tired and cause you to eat too much junk food later in the day.

197

Exactly.

198

Listen to your body and give it good energy in the morning.

199

Now, let's review five important words from today's talk.

200

Ben, what is number one?

201

Number one is skip.

202

To skip means to choose not to do something or not to have something.

203

For example, skipping breakfast means you choose not to eat it.

204

Number two is blood sugar.

205

This is the main energy in your blood that comes from food.

206

It gives your brain and muscles the power to work.

207

Number three is crave.

208

To crave means to want to eat something very badly.

209

When you are starving, you often crave unhealthy, sweet foods.

210

Number four is fuel up.

211

This is a great phrasal verb.

212

It means to give your body the energy it needs,

213

just like putting gas into a car.

214

You must fuel up in the morning.

215

And the last one, number five, is protein rich.

216

This describes food that has a lot of protein, like eggs and meat.

217

It keeps you feeling full for a long time.

218

That is all for today's episode of Everyday English Talk.

219

We hope you learned something new and useful for your busy mornings.

220

So what about you?

221

Tell us, what did you eat for breakfast today?

222

Do you usually skip it?
