About 80% of people who are overweight share this 1 common
characteristic. It may be one of the biggest indicators as to why so
many people are getting fat these days. Conversely, 80% of skinny people
share a directly opposite characteristic. Here it is...

80% of overweight people skip breakfast. Interesting, huh? Ok, maybe
not, but... it's very important when you add in the fact that 80% of
skinny people actually do eat a breakfast regularly.
Perhaps the biggest and most important habit you can develop to lose weight is the simple ability to eat a breakfast each and every day.
Now, this doesn't mean to eat a bad breakfast full of terrible foods that are loaded with carbohydrates and fats and all of a sudden you'll lose weight. Come on, you knew that. Don't try to cheat this habit and yourself.
Here is my best suggestion for you...
Make 3-4 scrambled eggs. Quick and easy. Yes... I know you're busy. We all are. If you really do care about your health and want to lose weight, can't you simply wake up 10 minutes earlier than normal so you have time to make and eat the scrambled eggs?
Even better is to add 1/2 can of black beans or blackeye peas to the scrambled eggs.
That's almost the perfect breakfast. High in protein and fiber, low in carbs and fat.
You'll notice that you won't feel very hungry before lunch. You can thank all that protein and fiber in the eggs and black beans!
So, as you can see, skipping breakfast is not a good idea... especially for weight loss. Breakfast is the best time to eat a big meal because your body is coming off of 6-8 hours of sleep (starvation). So it needs food for energy to start the day right.
One last thing. The more food you eat earlier in the day (within reason), the less food you eat later in the day. This helps you to burn off the foods you ate during the day instead of letting them stay in your body and turn into fat deposits while you sleep at night.
