Start every day off right
Even though morning can be the most hectic part of your day, and you doubt you can find five minutes for breakfast, consider this double whammy: Skipping breakfast increases your risk for obesity and makes you less able to resist fatty and high-calorie foods later in the day. Make a vow to eat breakfast every day. It's a proven way to maintain a healthy body weight. A bowl of oatmeal or yogurt, topped with strawberries or blueberries and a sprinkling of ground flaxseed, starts you out with the complex carbohydrates, fibre, and protein you need to get you up and running.
If you're trying to lose weight, putting some lean protein on your plate (or in a glass) is your best bet, according to results from a 2007 study. Researchers at the Pennington Biomedical Center compared weight loss in women who ate either two eggs or a plain bagel. The women who ate two eggs for breakfast five times a week for eight weeks as part of a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet lot 65 percent more weight than the women who ate bagels‚ even though they consumed the same number of calories. They also reported higher energy levels.
