Will Skipping Breakfast Help You Lose Weight?

I used to skip breakfast pretty often. I just wasn’t hungry. And it made me feel kind of good — like wow. What a woman I am — who needs breakfast?

Well, I was wrong. Skipping breakfast is a big no-no if you want to be healthy long-term, and in the short-term, if you want to lose weight. Eating breakfast somehow … mysteriously … raises your metabolism, so your body says, “Woohoo. We’re happy. Let’s get moving and burn those calories.”
