How Often Is It Healthy to Do a Late Breakfast Shake and One Meal?

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating, and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

How often is it healthy to do Late breakfast, Shake and One Meal? This is JJ Virgin, four time New York Times bestselling author, celebrity nutrition expert, and Fitness hall of Famer. I've been on a a lifelong quest for answers to the toughest health questions, and now I'm sharing what I found with you. Welcome to Ask the Health Expert. Margaret Dexter from my Facebook community, the JJ Virgin Lifestyle community asked how often is it healthy to do late breakfast, shake and one meal? I often get busy and I don't get around to my shake until later in the day, so I really don't want more than one other meal. I don't get hungry and frankly, I forget to eat. Eat. Hey, it's JJ and I'm going to tell you why this is really good news. Stay with me.

Hey, it's J.J. here. Now, let's be honest. The holidays are basically a financial ambush. Travel, hosting gifts, surprise holiday school things.

So Margaret and I've been following Margaret's health journey for a while. She's been in our community group and in the programs. And what's awesome is Margaret is a fat burner. So one of the ways you can tell that you've made that shift from being a sugar burner where you're kind of always looking for that next meal and you want to eat every two to three hours to a fat burner where you forget to eat is that very thing you forget to eat. And that's how I can tell somebody can burn fat off their waist. Someone who's got great steady energy and good focus and then forgets to eat because their blood sugar isn't going into a nose dive when they haven't eaten every two to three hours. So yay, Margaret. Yay for you. I love it. So the answer to this is you could have a late breakfast smoothie and an early dinner every single day and it would just be fine and great. And actually it's one of those ways that can help with longevity and a good immune system. And I think that and a great immune system prevention is kind of the new wealth, right? Especially now. So this is absolutely fine to do. And one that we've really done around our house is for the most part we try to eat a late breakfast, early lunch. And that's where I love doing a smoothie and I'll put do my paleo fiber. Actually what I've been doing lately is my paleo shake mix plus my plant based mix in chai and then some extra fiber and a little of my collagen and then some avocado, a little, little bit of a frozen green banana, coconut milk and ice. So you have a shake and then I drink a lot of fluids in between. So maybe some ice cream tea, some lemon with cayenne and then an early dinner. And if I get hungry in between, my easy solution is just to grab one of my bars. And it is yes, lazy eating. I get down to only having to cook one meal. So even better, whip one up and cook one. And then some days I'll just use the leftovers from the night before. I'll have a more of a brunch and then a smoothie later. So absolutely Good to go Margaret and bigger. I celebrate you for the transformation that you have made. This is JJ with Ask the Health Expert. I do this five times a week, so make sure you never miss a show by going to subscribetoj.com.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I tag all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next reading. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast and Visit our website whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com to find out more.
