I am a huge fan of eating breakfast too. I feel it helps me to make smarter decisions all day. I also think that flax seeds are huge in helping with weight loss.
I have the same breakfast every day. I recently lost 30 pounds following the weight watchers program http://www.weightwatchers.com and I now just am more watchful every day of what I eat. I have a banana low fat yogurt with golden roasted flax for breakfast every day. It is filling, keeps me regular and tastes fabulous. My trainer recommended fitflax to me and it definitely helped the last 10 pounds to melt off. It is a flax and chia blend and was written about in O mag. They also listed a code to get 15% off. The site is http://www.fitflax.com and the code for 15% off is FIT15
