Suppers Programs Announces Breakfast Challenge Workshop

We’ve probably all heard the saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

The benefits of breakfast vary from person to person, but these are some of the top selling points for eating breakfast within a few hours of waking:

• Fuel your tank: Eating breakfast can help your body perform at
  its best and give you more energy, which can help you maintain a healthy weight.
• Improve heart health: Morning is when your body is most insulin-sensitive—when it tends to use blood sugar more effectively.
• Lower your diabetes risk: People who skip breakfast 4-5 days a week had as much as a 55% increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
• Increase focus: Eating breakfast can help you be more alert and focused.

Whether you “break your fast” at 7 a.m. or noon, the first meal of the day can be a good time to experiment with different foods to learn how they affect us. Are your breakfast habits impacting your mood and energy? Is what you are eating making you feel your best?

The Suppers Programs is pleased to announce that registration is open for its Breakfast Challenge, a 10-day interactive workshop designed to provide guidance, education and support for people as they plan their first meal of the day.

The virtual workshop, which runs from March 7-17, 2021, will give participants the opportunity to explore and observe how their body and brain responds to different types of food. The Breakfast Challenge includes daily emails with useful information on eating for your health, easy and delicious recipes that are simple to make with a detailed shopping list, tips and techniques to keep motivated, and regular Zoom check-ins along with daily logs to gather data and track key markers.

The program is led by Suppers Board President Fiona Capstick, Certified Integrative Health Coach [Duke Integrative Medicine], RN, and co-facilitated by Marion Reinson, Suppers Executive Director. In addition to live Zoom kick-off and closing meetings, participants will have the option to share personal insights and experiences in a non-judgmental, small-group environment—one of the foundational concepts of the Suppers Programs.

“Our goal at the end of the Breakfast Challenge is to give people a clear picture of the type of foods that leave them satisfied and feeling their best,” said Suppers Executive Director Marion Reinson. “Perhaps you’ve considered trying to eat differently to improve your health, but aren’t sure where to begin. If this sounds relatable, then the Breakfast Challenge is a great place to start.”

The cost of the 10-day workshop is $45. Upon registration, participants will receive a Breakfast Challenge information kit which includes a set of recipes and a detailed shopping list. For more information, visit www.thesuppersprograms.org.
