🔍 Breakfast: fuel or chaos?
Having (or not having) breakfast changes the way you:
1. Make decisions.
2. Regulate your mood.
3. You burn calories.
4. React to stress.
A bad breakfast—too much sugar, too little substance—pushes you into the vicious cycle of emotional hunger. A powerful and strategic breakfast , on the other hand, puts you in focus, energy, and control mode.
