Give Breakfast a Chance

You may think that an easy way to lose weight would be to just skip eating breakfast. But you'd be wrong! Study after study has shown that people who eat a healthy breakfast every day weigh less than those who skip this important meal. This may be because breakfast-skippers overcompensate by overeating later in the day, or it may be that a morning meal jump-starts your metabolism. Whatever the reason, it would be a big mistake to skip breakfast.
If you don't like typical breakfast foods, break the rules. Change up the regular choices with these delicious options:
Plain, unsweetened, whole-grain oatmeal made with low-fat or fat-free milk and topped with fresh fruit and nuts. Oatmeal is filling, easy to fix, and boasts fiber and other nutrients, too.
Low-fat yogurt sprinkled with low-fat granola.
A fruit-and-vegetable smoothie.
Whole-grain toast with a thin spread of nut butter.
High-fiber, low-sugar, whole-grain cereal with low-fat or fat-free milk and fruit. Choose a cereal with at least 8 grams of fiber per serving.
If you're feeling extremely adventurous, break the rules completely and have a vegetable-and-whole-grain breakfast that can be made in the microwave in minutes: sweet potato with low-sodium canned beans and a brown-rice breakfast pocket. It may sound totally crazy to eat this food in the morning, but try it and see how great you feel by lunch.
Try canned Alaskan salmon in place of bacon with eggs and veggies. You may be the first person you know to eat healthy, omega-3-packed salmon in the morning, but your neighbors will follow suit when they see what good health you're in!
