I find that a handful of blueberries, and a slice of sprouted bread (Ezekiel Genesis is my favourite) slathered with avocado is a good start. And as for the dreaded slump - mid-morning snacks (nuts and fruit), and being mindful of, and responding to, my hunger pangs helps starve off the slump. Oh and lots and lots of water.

I think food does make a difference and my body reacts best to breakfasts that include egg, rye bread, smoked salmon, avocado etc. My beloved swedish cinnamon buns are usually relegated to weekends. Your soaked muesli sounds lovely and I'm also going to have to try a bit of mid-afternoon dancing...Katehttp://katelittlehouse.squarespace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-4472897734309364002013-03-15T19:35:17.408-07:002013-03-15T19:35:17.408-07:00I like the walk idea, and water.
