When the holidays are over, many of us think it’s time to put our diet in order and start eating something that rhymes with health.

And maybe it also rhymes with losing weight.

Oh well, now that the holidays are over we certainly all have better thoughts to start working on our bodies and well-being for this new year that has just begun.

So we have to start setting important points for eating well and working well on our body from the early morning.

The first piece of advice I would like to give you is to prepare a  protein shake with oats  for breakfast.

Breakfast, as you well know, is the most important meal of the day and it is what sets our metabolism in motion.

To speed up our metabolism it is good to start with proteins which, as you already know, are the real fuel for our body.

Proteins serve to give us energy and serve to nourish our muscles.

Then accelerating the metabolism we will always have the possibility to quickly burn the accumulated fats , without affecting the muscles, nourished by proteins.

We have very good smoothies, protein shakes on the market. It is enough to know how to choose among the vastness of products, more or less acceptable, that we find both on the net and in shops, always being careful to choose natural products.

Or we can make some great protein shakes ourselves with the addition of oats.

Let’s see three.
