If you’re eating a low-carb diet as part of your weight loss program, breakfast time can start to get a little boring after a while. So many foods enjoyed during the first meal of the day are awfully high in carbohydrates – oatmeal, muffins, toast, cereal, waffles, pancakes – and the list goes on and on!

One Saturday morning, I woke up and just had to have something different for breakfast, something that really would satisfy a craving – and then I made pancakes.

Because of this, it’s easy to let our attention focus on the physical aspects of our wellness and neglect the other significant component: the mental and emotional aspects of obesity.
