I used to not eat until 1 or 2 o'clock, but have made breakfast of some sort a priority for the past 3 years. My go to breakfast is usually a full cup of some sort of high fiber cereal. Fiber One cereals are a good choice with 9-11 gram of fiber per serving. Sometimes I mix in some Sam's Extra Raisin Bran to save money, but the fiber content is a little lower. I really like FiberPlus Caramel Pecan Crunch, too. I always use plain soy milk in my cereal. I really like soy milk better; it has fewer calories, so it is a win-win for me.
When I am on a tighter schedule, I try to keep some high fiber bars (Fiber One or Kellogg's FiberPlus) that I can eat in the car. Some mornings I don't want to eat anything, but I force myself to eat at least a half of a fiber bar, because I do believe that it jumpstarts my metabolism for the day, and it is the right thing to do.
People ask me what "program" I am on, but as a lot of you know you have to make personal lifestyle changes that are not temporary to have a lasting effect on your life, health, and weight. Eating more fiber and breakfast are two of my "lifestyle" changes that I have made to help me lose 40 pounds over 3 years. I am slow, but sure!
