Don't Let This Meal Wreck Your Day Breakfast (or brunch, if you're in Los Angeles on a Sunday) really is the most important meal of the day. If you do one thing for your health, this is it. Skipping breakfast in lieu of a big mug of light and sweet coffee isn't only bad for your metabolism, it also makes you more likely to reach for high-glycemic, quick-energy foods come lunchtime. Experts say that indulging in foods like bread, white rice and pasta messes with the way your body burns fat. Instead of processing it normally, your body tries to regulate your blood sugar by getting it into storage ASAP -- as fat.
To avoid packing on saddlebags, steer clear of breakfast food like bagels, granola, sugary cereals and doughnuts. Instead, I grab a hard-boiled egg, plain Greek yogurt or oatmeal topped with blueberries and almonds -- it's a quick way to jump-start my day -- and keep on-track till bedtime.
