Ah, breakfast. The most important meal. Sets you up for the rest of the day. Gives you the get up and go to…well….get up and go.

But I’m guessing you may have skipped breakfast at least a couple of times this week. Did you sleep in? Were you too rushed? Lots to get through at work? Can’t face eating so early in the morning?
Even worse, did you do a drive-by-breakfast from one of those large fast food purveyors or local service stations who is successfully kidding you that a saturated fat sandwich first thing in the morning is actually a healthy breakfast option?

Why did you never listen to what your dear old mother used to tell you - “You are not leaving this house till you eat breakfast. And sit down, for goodness sake.” Breakfast is a meal with a purpose. You should learn to respect it, because it will do you and your fat loss efforts nothing but good.

You know, one of the easiest things you can do to start losing weight and keeping it off is just to eat breakfast. It’s that simple.

If you can bring yourself to eat a decent breakfast every day, you are going to get more alert and have better brain function, be more active and - this is the big one - burn more fat because eating a good quality breakfast will increase your metabolism and inhibit your food cravings.

What more reason do you need?

A successful weight loss program involves eating enough food every day - quality food, not junk. You have to start every day with a breakfast that is packed with energy from complex carbs, unsaturated fats and protein.

If you have little time in the morning, get your breakfast things ready the night before. By planning, you will have the intention to eat and will make the time to do it. A quick fix breakfast only takes 5 - 10 minutes.

Are you trying to kid yourself that you can’t find 10 minutes a day to fuel up your body to cope with the stresses that lie ahead? Get real.

If you find eating first thing in the morning a bit of a challenge, then you can try several things.

Take up your daily exercise in the morning, then you can eat after you exercise. You will be fully awake and more than ready for some energy food.

Take the liquid breakfast option (no, not a Bloody Mary, but it was worth asking). Try a protein shake. They are low fat, low sugar and will slide down very easily mixed with skim milk.

Think of a protein shake as a meal replacement. You should not be worried that protein shakes are “unnatural” food. Their nutritional value compares very favorably against the stuff being flogged on a fast food style bacon and egg roll.

You may just choose to tell yourself in the strongest possible terms that shirking on breakfast is not an option. Saying “I can’t face eating in the morning” has more to do with lazy eating habits than the ability of your long suffering stomach to handle something to eat in the morning.

You know the saying “fail to plan and you plan to fail”. Nowhere is this more true than in getting your diet and exercise program together. Just plan to eat a healthy breakfast every day and your weight control diet will be off to a flying start.
