As always breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When we start our day off with a high-calorie meal we are less likely to have food cravings later on.  Most often, when we are hungry we make the wrong food choices which can seriously affect our weight loss goals. If one is able to focus on appropriate meal timing, adequate protein and low-glycemic foods and create this eating habit into a lifestyle, the weight loss will occur naturally and be more likely to remain permanent.
