I took a test about 6 months ago known as an RMR or resting metabolic rate that showed that I was only eating up about 1500 calories a day.  The problem was believe it or not I was not eating enough food so I was lowering my metabolism and causing my body to store fat with my body thinking I was going into starvation mode. I should be burning about 2500 to 3000 kCal per day.

 So for all of you out there who say, I am not going to eat breakfast so that I can lose weight may be doing your body a gross disservice.  Oftentimes we read about the fact that we need breakfast for good daily functioning and cardiovascular health.  I think those points have already been often stated and are important but come on I’m talking about looking good! (Just kidding).  I have been faithful and have had breakfast every morning as far as I can remember since I learned of that news.  I hear that it takes 21 days to break a bad habit.  Fortunately, I think I have far exceeded the time window to regain that bad habit.  I started with Kashi bars that were really good tasting and easy.  I could eat them in the car with a double espresso.  Now, what I am really enjoying is a mix of yogurt, honey, granola, and blueberries.  As a little advice, try the Agave Nectar honey.  Once you’ve had that, you can’t go back to regular honey.  It is beautifully aromatic, lightly sweet without the cloying quality of conventional honey.  Also, as far as yogurt, the Fage yogurt (pronounced Fa-yeh) is really amazing.  I found out about it through a patient of mine (Ellie) that I ran into at Central Market Grocery, which carries both products.  Blueberries as you know are rich in anti-oxidants, always a good idea.  Anyway, hopefully this thought was helpful for you guys out there.
