Breakfast in Weight Management
Breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day. There are a a number of good reasons to resist the urge to skip breakfast especially if you're on a path to lose weight and be healthier.
Eating food at the start of the day fuels up the body and reduces hunger later in the day. Without breakfast, a large appetite increases the risk for over-eating or picking less healthy, higher calorie choices.
Eating breakfast keep metabolic rate and energy up. More energy earlier in the day means more activity and in the long run, more calories burned.
Motivation to eat healthy starts early in the day. Take some time to blow up past ideas of breakfast and try some new choices. I've written before about vegetables at breakfast as a way to start the day healthy.
Eating breakfast is the healthy habit for May in Cooking Light. The Cooking Light resource center for 12 healthy habits has more information, recipes, and tips to help convert you to a breakfast eater.
