Well I'll tell you why. A few years ago I started this thing where I had to eat breakfast everyday before 10:00 am. At first I felt a little overfull, but quickly I started to notice a trend—I was hungrier. It would get to be 11:30, 11, no 10 am and I would be hungry AGAIN. If I didn't eat breakfast I wouldn't get hungry for lunch until maybe 1 or 2 pm. Now for any of you on diets or trying to lose weight, I know you're thinking...yes PLEASE tell me the secret to making me HUNGRIER. But I promise I have a point.
Hunger is a very important part to losing weight, or just maintaining. Not starving yourself hunger, real, true, stomach growling hunger when you eat a healthy diet and exercise. That hungry signal means your metabolism is getting faster—the golden ticket if you're like me and love to eat. I noticed that when I ate a healthy breakfast before 10 am and maintained a moderate workout schedule, I was consistently hungry the rest of the day and had to, had to, eat little snacks. A wonderful bonus.
So tomorrow when you wake up, think about breakfast. Ash and I eat a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and a banana pretty much everyday. The decision is yours: you can be a skinny bitch that orders lettuce with a side of water or you can be the skinny mega-bitch that orders lasagna and dessert because you eat breakfast. The choice is yours.
