Daily Fit Tip: Eat your breakfast

Did your mother tell you that Breakfast was the most important meal of the day? She was right. Breakfast gets your brain -- not to mention the rest of your body -- going in the morning. With something in your stomach as you take on the day, you'll be able to think more clearly, you'll concentrate better and you'll have more energy.

Eating breakfast is important, especially if you're trying to lose weight. I know it doesn't make sense -- that eating more can lead to losing more weight -- but it's the truth. People who don't eat breakfast are more likely to overeat later in the day. Also? Breakfast sets your metabolism for the rest of the day, and if your body feels like it's in starvation mode first thing in the morning, it's going to store every bit of food you eat as fat.

Now there's some food for thought.
