Breakfast TRULY is the most important meal of the day, ESPECIALLY if you are trying to lose weight. So, I know a lot of people try to skip breakfast to save on calories or whatever, but in my experience this is NOT BENEFICIAL. If you wake up and go about your day without eating for 4 or 5 hours, your body is going to go into STARVATION mode. This means that as soon as you DO eat (lunch, let's say), your body is going to STORE that food instead of burning it off. If, however, you do eat right when you wake up, your metabolism gets FIRED up immediately and your body starts burning fat right away. You really should try to eat SOMETHING every 4 hours to keep your body from going into STARVATION mode. It's a survival technique and if your body thinks it's not going to get food for a while, it stores it!! It's amazingly miraculous how we are created!
So, use it to your advantage.
Eat something first thing in the morning. It doesn't have to be a lot. I know a lot of people workout in the morning--SO DO I! I drink a protein shake about an hour and a half before I workout and feel great! Then, you can wait until lunch. But, then in between lunch and dinner--eat a SMALL snack to help that metabolism stay active and strong. I promise you will see better results AND you'll feel a whole lot better!
