BREAKFAST HASH
By Dr. Cindy Tanzar
The need for variety in breakfast options is important when you are on a weight loss plan. Traditional American breakfasts offer a lot of variety, but mostly consist of high-carb meals that pack on the pounds and create a host of health issues. Don’t get caught up in mourning old foods that are unhealthy. Instead, choose to look at your breakfast food as a healthy fat-burning fuel to start your day and increase metabolism. Hash is simply vegetables, protein and fat diced and cooked together in a skillet. You can add a lot of variety by using any vegetable you like. Leftover roasted vegetables work great, as well. You can also chop vegetables ahead of time and keep them stored in the fridge.
