Love Yourself -- Eat Breakfast

I always thought the saying that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was bull. Early in 2005, however, I started eating a full breakfast regularly so that I would have energy, and so that I would avoid wolfing down an unbalanced and unhealthy lunch. Soon I had lost weight and had more energy in the morning. Needless to say, it's worked for me.

When I explain this experience to people, I often hear that they don't "feel like" eating breakfast in the morning. I remember feeling that way initially, but I guess I'm so used to breakfast that I can't do without it now. In any case, I just came across an article that I'd like to share. It contains tips for increasing appetite in the morning:

And, just for good measure, here's my breakfast menu:
  • Bowl of granola with milk (my favorite is Bear Naked brand)
  • 5 egg whites, usually cooked omelette style (generally without a filling, but sometimes I'll add fillings like shredded cheese or onions or bacon bits)
  • Cup and a half of coffee, black (I'm a caffeine fiend)
