Take Five for a Healthy Breakfast

Yes, take five – five minutes, that is, of extra time to prepare breakfast! With a hectic day ahead, breakfast is often the first meal axed. But as Mom always said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  Studies have shown that when you eat breakfast, you eat less throughout the day. Taking in your calories more evenly throughout the day helps avoid big deficits and high peaks. It really is the best way to control the body's fat distribution.
