When you get up in morning, you need to feed something to your metabolism to get into action again and produce enough energy to last throughout the day. A heavy breakfast also helps keeping your calorie requirement under check for the rest of the day. If you eat less during the day, you restrict calories. It also gives enough energy to boost brain and body functioning. There have been studies to prove that people who eat a heavy breakfast are thinner than those who take a light or no breakfast. But the idea is to keep your other meals light with less carbs.

Try to have coffee during the day for weight loss
