Breakfast is the most important meal of the day since it breaks the fast (break-fast) that your body goes through while sleeping. Studies have shown that people who eat breakfast are more alert at school and work, are able to pay attention longer during the day, and are less likely to over eat later in the day.
A person’s metabolism is highest in the morning and is raised even further by eating breakfast. The majority of people that successfully and responsibly lose weight do so by including breakfast in their diets.

Avoid junk foods that don’t carry much nutritional value. Whole grains, cereals, oatmeal, English muffins, eggs, toast, yogurt and fruits are all examples of a healthy breakfast.
If you’re not currently a big breakfast eater, start small. As you get used to eating earlier in the day, start adding more. If you are not immediately hungry in the morning wait 30 minutes or so until you are hungrier. Try and avoid traditional breakfast drinks such as coffee and replace that with juice or milk.
If you absolutely need the caffeine, eat something with your beverage to gain the benefits of breakfast. Enjoy!
