If you answered yes to the above question, that’s great. You’re one of few people who realize the importance of breakfast. It truly is “the most important meal of the day”.

Many people skip breakfast because they feel like they don’t have enough time in the morning. They wake up, get ready and run out the door, sometimes without even a swig of orange juice or a bite of a bagel. If you’re guilty of this, it’s time for you to make a change.

Did you know that those who skip breakfast tend to eat significantly more at their next meal? Those who take the time to eat a morning meal actually weigh less than breakfast skippers, as they eat less during the day and make better food choices. In addition to weight control, eating breakfast means that you’ll have a more nutritious diet, more strength, and improved concentration and performance. Haven’t you noticed that you’re a little crankier when you’re hungry? Nobody likes to be around miserable people. Eat breakfast and you’ll find that you’ll be much more positive!
