Breakfast, it's more than a meal

Hey everyone,

We've been told time and again that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However, when I talk to people who want to lose weight, breakfast is meal that they skip. Not surprisingly in these cases, their largest meal tends to be supper. This is the wrong way to eat if weight is your concern. Breakfast should not only be the largest meal, but it is the most forgiving because you have the entire day to burn off those calories. However, the best benefit of breakfast is that you burn more calories throughout the day; consequently, your body burns 20-30% more calories when you do this. This is an amazing way to boost weight loss. Assuming you want to lose weight, this is a powerful tool to add to your arsenal, and it is a relatively easy behavior change. When it's combined with a smaller lunch and supper, weight loss becomes easier without reducing total daily calories much or at all. I think you'll find that you'll have more energy throughout the day as well possibly making exercise easier. Personally, I've used this as part of my weight loss journey, and I've lost 25 pounds over a two and a half months (although I've used other things like healthy eating and exercise). Think about doing this if you don't already.
