Eat Breakfast
The first – and easiest – step you should take towards becoming more healthy is so, so simple; it’s eating breakfast. Benefits of eating Breakfast include:
a revved up metabolism started early so that it burns the maximum number of calories to fuel your activities fewer total calories consumed throughout the day
an increased leptin output. Leptin is a hormone that suppress the appetite.
Since leptin suppresses appetite, it follows that those of us who eat breakfast would take in fewer calories throughout the day. In fact, researchers at the University of Texas, El Paso, studied the food diaries of 586 men and women and determined that the more food people ate in the morning, the fewer calories they consumed in an entire day. So eat up early – though what we eat for breakfast may affect what we eat later on.
That’s right. Your first step to losing weight – eating breakfast – is not as simple as just popping any convenience food into your mouth. Eating refined carbohydrates such as sugary cereals, toasted white bread, waffles, or bagels will likely begin an overeating cycle
