 <\/p>\n

In the last months I insisted focusing in the morning routines<\/strong>. Maybe thinking that changing how a day starts, will impact the rest \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

After having changed the shower procedure to a greener and healthier one in “morning shower revolution<\/a>“, I started a 5-minutes exercise routine from the Yoga world, called “Sun Salutation” (Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit) that I will post about later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At the same time, I revisited my 30+ years old breakfast tradition… a very Italian tradition: a cup of hot milk with honey<\/strong>, and cookies<\/strong> dipped in it. Lots of them!
\nAnd not just cookies, I love Macine<\/strong> from Mulino Bianco<\/a>, that I bring here in large quantities every time me or someone is coming from Italy.<\/p>\n

Who saw me having breakfast here got surprised and\/or amused by it, mainly because the “sweet” breakfast is not common in north Europe (and in Mexico too) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I thought I could never ever adapt to live without a sweet start of the day… so I had to prove me wrong! I can<\/strong> adapt and change. That’s fundamental for living well.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Beside that, this breakfast is high in carbohydrates<\/strong> and in the last months I have been trying to reduce them to see if I could get rid of some body fat %.
\nOK, I don’t have much f it anyway but I started wondering if I will ever see my 6-pack abs in my life. And even if I have one or if it’s just a marketing invention from diet companies \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

So I reduced the pasta, reduced the bread, tried to reduce the pizza (c’mon, once a week is the minimum to keep Italian passport!) and then I had to face the truth: my breakfast<\/strong> if bloated with carbo and I have a layer of cookies covering my abs. (I wish I had a picture to show what I have in mind).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, \u00a0inspired by the controversial\u00a0Tim Ferris’s book “The 4-hour body”<\/a>,\u00a0I replaced my breakfast with spinach<\/strong> and scrambled eggs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If sounds terrible to you, I have been there.
\nI has think for ages that eggs for breakfast was a barbarian habit \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
