Super Size your Breakfast

I thought I had written about this previously but I guess not. I wanted to talk about breakfast. We've all been told that breakfast is the most important meal of the day since we were all little tykes. Eating a good meal first thing in the morning gets your metabolism kicking to give you more energy throughout the day and burn more calories. We are now finding that the size of the breakfast is just as important. Here is a fascinating study. A group was split into two sub groups. They were all given the exact same amount of daily calories. One group had a 300 calorie breakfast, the other had a 600 calorie breakfast. After 8 months the group that ate a larger breakfast lost nearly 4 times as much weight as the group that ate the small breakfast! So if weight loss is your goal please (I am pleading here) don't skip breakfast! And try eating a larger than usual breakfast while eating less throughout the rest of the day. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
