Going on a Fresh Food Diet? Here Are Some Very Easy Breakfast Recipes

Simply put, a fresh food diet is an eating plan that revolves around the extensive and exclusive use of fresh ingredients only. This means that anything processed (or at least, most anything processed) and that includes condiments, bottled marinades, and those microwave ready dishes and snacks, are literally out of the picture. For many years now, dieticians and nutritionists are advising against living on a diet full of processed food items, noting that the high sugar, salt and preservative content of these are actually detrimental to health.

Breakfast, being the very first meal of the day, is therefore the best time to introduce the fresh food diet in your current lifestyle. Once you get the hang of creating breakfast cooking recipes using fresh ingredients only, it might encourage you to use its guiding principle for the rest of the meals in a day.

So if you think you want to try your hand with a few fresh food cooking recipes, here are a few easy breakfast tips for you.

Skip the sugary cereals and go for something more organic. A serving of egg (boiled, poached, scrambled, sunny side up, etc.) in the morning is a great way of introducing protein into your system, but instead of using common table salt, you can use rock or sea salt instead. The latter ones have undergone very little processing and are tastier too.

Whole grain rye bread is also a great addition to the breakfast tray. Unlike white breads, this type of carbs does not affect the blood sugar negatively. Rye dough rises naturally without the need for sugar in the yeast mix. Other dark colored breads could also work with this diet, but try to make sure that breads are indeed whole grained and that the dough mixes contain no or very little sugar or molasses.

You could also try to add more fruits and fruit / vegetable juices to your breakfasts. A medium-sized orange in the morning can give you that boost of organic Vitamin C to last you the rest of the day. Fruit or vegetable juices also work wonders for your energy level and metabolism.

If you like having a heavier meals in the morning, try this: marinate overnight a slab of pork tenderloin (you can also use a breast of chicken or turkey, or a good sized portion of tuna or salmon meat) in _ cup of organic vinegar (no artificial flavors or colors,) _ to 1 tablespoon of rock or sea salt and a dash of freshly ground peppercorns. You can fry this on a non-stick pan (no oil) for a few minutes until the meat is seared on both sides.

You can use freshly sliced tomatoes and cucumber as accompaniment to this meat dish, or you can finely chop up tomatoes, onions, basil leaves and avocado (with a dash of organic salt and pepper) as topping.
