Breakfast: the most important meal of the day

I don't normally eat breakfast. Haven't done since I was in High School. Really. Every now and again, I might eat a couple of weet-bix, or have a yoghurt, but no regular breakfast eating here. I have been told that I have to if I am going to lose the weight I want. Why? Having breakfast is supposed to kick off your metabolism in the morning. By waiting for lunch, your body is not burning the calories off - in fact your body is still in 'starvation' mode where it has slowed down your metabolism because it thinks that it is not geting enough nutrients to keep it going. By eating breakfast you can start to getting that metabolism working for you. So, one of my tasks is to make sure that I have breakfast each day. Breakfast should consist of hi-fibre foods, no oily stuff (Goodbye bacon :( ) with some fruit - I'm thinking weet-bix or Just Right or museli with some strawberries/ blueberries/ raspberries on top with low fat milk. That should get me through to snack time at about 10:30 =, which is time for another piece of fruit/vegatable.
