You can follow your fruit intake with a piece of toast. Give some thought to how much butter you put on your toast as dairy products although necessary are not ideal for the body. If you like your croissants and pain au chocolate then save it for once a week on a Saturday or Sunday. Do not get in to the habit of indulging yourself with oily and buttery breakfasts.



I did not quite realise just how much butter goes in to making croissants and pain au chocolate until I tried making them from scratch!! And Oh Boy!!

Muesli is a great start to the day, as not only is it rich in fruit, whole grains and nuts but it will fill you up and keep those hunger pangs at bay. You can mix your own if you feel very adventurous or you can buy them ready mixed. For variety Add fruit like bananas, or some berries to your muesli. Try not to have too much dairy milk and replace it with Soya milk or even yogurt.


Studies have shown that we loose the ability to digest animal milk from around the age of one! So if you must have milk make sure it is semi skimmed. You should also switch your children’s milk intake from full fat to semi skinned after the age of one.

One of mine and my daughter’s favourite things to have for breakfast is a piece of toast with a generous spread of Feta cheese. It is a very Persian breakfast and incredible with sweetened tea!



They also taste great with grapes.


Don’t blame me if you get hooked on it!!


Feta cheese is very rich in calcium and a small piece has the equivalent amount of the daily recommended calcium needed for an adult.


General rule is to listen to your body and it will tell you what it needs, but under no circumstances are you to pay any attention to it if should ask you for a fry up breakfast!
