do you skip breakfast? why? don’t do that anymore! 🙂

studies have shown that people who skip breakfast are more likely to consume MORE calories throughout the day than those people who actually eat breakfast. if you’re trying to lose weight, do not be afraid of eating a big breakfast! you have the rest of the day to walk around, walk up stairs, run for the bus and burn those calories off. when you eat breakfast you kick-start your metabolism and your body will be ready to burn calories throughout the day. starbucks doesn’t have the same effect; coffee will wake up your brain so that you’re more aware and alert. but once that coffee fades, you crash and feel sluggish because your body is looking for those carbs, fats and proteins.

try to stay away from the pastries and coffee and try cereal or oatmeal. but if you haven’t had breakfast in a while, anything will do for the first week. the most important thing is to get your “stomach” digesting something as early as possible.

make time to eat breakfast. sleep 20 minutes earlier and wake up 20 minutes earlier. give your body and mind a chance to work optimally.
