Breaking Through A Weight Loss Plateau

2. Don't skip meals. Many dieters sabotage their efforts by thinking that if they "save calories" in the morning they will get a jump start on weight loss. That thinking couldn't be farther from the truth. Research shows that breakfast eaters tend to be thinner and have a lower disease risk than those who shun the first meal of the day. Skipping breakfast can set you up to ravenous later on, and you will be much less likely to reach for healthy choices if you are reeling from hunger. For a winning breakfast, try to have something that's high in whole grains, moderate in protein and low in fat, such as a piece of whole grain toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a glass of skim milk, or a lowfat yogurt sprinkled with granola and fresh fruit.

Jackie and I are big supporters of the oatmeal and raspberries!!

  1. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a commoner & dinner like a peasant - I try to live by that rule!
