2. Skipping breakfast
There are numerous benefits of a healthy breakfast, yet so many people skip their first meal of the day, in a survey 14,000 people only 34% ate breakfast on a daily basis.
If you miss breakfast your body continues to crave the same amount of food that leads to overeating in lunch, snacks time and in dinner.
To develop the habit of eating breakfast, just start with piece of fruit on the go, wait 30 minutes to an hour and then add a bit of protein later in the morning if you're low on energy finish your meal with healthy carbs and fats like toast and peanut butter. so, stop skipping breakfast and start eating your first meal of the day.
