What an Athlete Eats for Breakfast
I had the opportunity to ask a few well known athletes how they start their day. I thought you’d like to know! These fellas know how to push themselves [and others] to the nth degree and they have consistent results to show for it! You obviously have to take into consideration that this is just their breakfast!
What information [food], are you giving your body and what messages are these foods signalling to your hormonal system? Are these in alignment with your health goals?

“I usually wake up around 630am. I throw on my favorite song by Kaskade 'I remember' and I proceed to bang out as many pushups as I can. I believe immediately shocking your system into a 'til failure' state upon awakening not only sets the tone for the day energetically, but it's a fun and invigorating way to get the blood flowing.
I then go into the kitchen an mix up my morning elixir of anti-inflammatory herbs and amino acids. I then hang upside down on my inversion table for 10 minutes” or so. I usually have some relaxing music like Sade playing while I collect my thoughts and lock in on what I need to do that day. Surprisingly I don't write things down, not that I recommend that, it's just what works best for me. The inversion table is a great way to get circulation flowing and get the elixir running through my veins.
I am an intermittent fast guy, which means I carry on throughout the day until about 1pm with no meal since dinner from the previous night. Usually around 16-18 hours. I burn fat, and I am locked in cognitively like never before.
