After fasting all night, cortisol levels in the blood are raised. High cortisol levels encourage fat formation and storage. To balance and reduce cortisol levels, you need insulin. You can encourage the production of insulin by eating.
Now I am a big fan of breakfast. Wouldn't miss it. Most days it is something small; cereal or toast, with fruit or yoghurt, sometimes a piece of cheese.
Wholewheat bread and wholegrain cereals are best, as they are usually low GI - they will keep you feeling fuller for longer. Introduce some protein - milk, yoghurt, cheese - and breakfast will see you through to lunch without a problem.
So, have some breakfast tomorrow morning. For the sake of your waistline. Promise?

also, pumpkin and sunflower seeds are a yummy addition to breakfast; enhancing cereals, uplifting porridge and contributing fibre and protein
thamks for your comment, juliea.joules, and of course you are quite right about those seeds. i tend to think of nuts and seeds as snacky things - but i do use them in dinner recipes. and they are in muesli and seed bread.
keep coming back. you're always welcome.
