Breakfast is one the most interesting meals of the day. Some sources will tell you you must eat breakfast or you’ll gain weight, while others say it’s best not to eat breakfast. As usual, the truth falls somewhere in the middle. In this article, Franziska discusses 12 foods that are great to eat in the morning to keep you full and satisfied.
3. Protein Isn’t Making You Full: Courtesy of Dr. Mike Roussell on Naked Nutrition
One of the first nutrition habits I have most clients work on is eating more protein. Protein helps you build lean muscle, keeps you fuller for longer, and aids in recovery from workouts. However, there are some who don’t feel satisfied or full once they eat protein. In this article, Dr. Roussell talks about why that is the case and what you can do to solve this problem.

Stress is something everyone has to deal with unfortunately. But did you know your body can’t tell the difference between stress from a deadline at work versus stress accumulated from an hour workout? Stress is stress. In this article, Andrew talks about how stress is creating problems with your ability to get fit and train hard. He walks you through the mechanisms behind this issue and what you can do to fix it.
5. How Insulin And Cortisol Affect Your Body Composition: Courtesy of Dr. Brooke Larson on Girls Gone Strong
Insulin and cortisol are two hormones that have a huge impact on the way your body looks. If these two are out of whack it’s extremely difficult to see any results from your training.
