"I don't eat brek-fist."

That's a line from a movie I used to watch.  If anyone can tell me what movie, I'll be impressed!

Did you know that when you don't eat breakfast, your metabolism actually slows down?  It all goes back to that "starvation mode" theory.  Consider this:  You ate the night before around 8pm and that was the last thing you had for the day.  Then you don't eat breakfast the next morning.  The next time you put food in your body is around, say, lunchtime - 12:00.  That's 16 hours without eating.  Guess what your body is thinking during that time?  "I'm not getting any food, so I better store the fat that I already have."

Here's a quote from the website I listed below:  "When you don't eat breakfast, you're actually fasting for 15 to 20 hours, so you're not producing the enzymes needed to metabolize fat to lose weight."

I know we've all heard it a million times, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  But it is.  Think of it as starting the day off on the right foot.  If you don't eat breakfast, your day could very well end up being filled with poor food choices and possibly no exercise.
