    I have Belvita Breakfast biscuits. They are really nice and easy to eat at work so I don't have to get up any earlier. At the weekends I have oat so simple porridge. You pour milk into the sachet and the sachet into a bowl and zap it in the microwave for 2 minutes.

    I definitely find it easier to diet by having breakfast.
  • Porridge is a really good one, I use the ones in the sachet, which work out about 15 pence each (23 cents) each and then add 180 ml of semi skimmed milk. It is about 180-215 calories, but really fills you up for the day. It takes 2 minutes in the microwave and involves no measuring jug! I get up, go straight to the kitchen, put it in the microwave and then get ready, by the time I am ready it has cooled so I can eat it quickly and then get on with my day!
  • I live by the research I have done which is: if it was made in a plant (processed, high sugar, high Trans fat, etc.) don't eat it. If it was made on a plant, eat it. As far as breakfast, I find that a high protein breakfast, lunch and dinner help keep my energy level high. Research shows that eating high carb sugery breakfast will cause weight gain more than those that ate high protein. I find that smoothies are a great fast breakfast for me. Add nut milk (almond, coconut) with a protein powder and green vegetables (spinach, kale) and some fruit (I like frozen it keeps longer). This is a fast, inexpensive breakfast (I found a smoothie make at a large retail store for $20). Since eating by this rule, I've lost 40 pounds in the last 12 months, have sustainable energy all day, and have never felt better. There are lots of research but more than not say, eat breakfast.
