“I don’t have much time in the day,” he said. “So all my stuff has to be very, very fast.
“When you start putting a little effort into your food and snacks, you start to enjoy them a little more.”
Eating healthier snacks avoids the “crash” often experienced after sugary foods.
Carly said, “It’s so much easier to go to the pantry and pick up a mince pie and eat that instead of making something yourself, I understand.
“When it’s been a long day and you haven’t eaten enough because you forgot lunch or breakfast and you’re like ‘can I have something to drink?’
“But really, take the time to have a drink or do something and think about how you feel.
“What do we really need? Will that mince pie make me collapse in five minutes?
“I’m going to go back and have another one, which is quite likely.
“Instead, let’s do something that keeps me going.”
Another diet expert, Dr. Michael Mosley’s wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, detailed a keto breakfast recipe to “keep you going.”
She is the author of The Fast 800 cookbooks, which complement the eating plan devised by her partner.
Her recipe involves baking eggs with delicious ingredients to make protein muffins.
Dr Clare said: “When you’re running in a hurry, it helps to have some portable options for when you need them.
“One or two of these tasty Flourless Ham and Spinach Muffins from The Fast 800 Keto will keep you going for breakfast and/or lunch.”
