1. Eat protein in the morning. It digests slowly, so you stay full way longer. When overweight women had a breakfast of eggs and toast (versus a bagel and cream cheese), they ate fewer calories for the rest of the day. So combine protein with fruit or juice (carbs) and whole-grain bread or cereal (fiber) -- you'll feel fuller even longer. In fact,
this threesome turns breakfast into a weight loss power tool
2. Work out before breakfast. In a new study, people who exercised before breakfast didn't gain weight in the short term, even when they ate a high-calorie, high-fat diet. And their bodies processed blood sugar in a healthier way (good news for the millions of Americans at risk for diabetes). Morning (rather than evening) exercise also seems to reset your body clock so that you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply. Another bonus: Feeling virtuous all day
