If you're just not hungry and can't force yourself to eat breakfast, you should at least try to drink some juice. That way, you're getting a healthy dose of nutrients, as well as the glucose your body and brain need to sustain themselves until lunch.

If you're on a diet, you may think that it's a good idea to skip breakfast in order to lose weight -- but that's not necessarily so. According to studies, most people who skip breakfast end up eating more later in the day, often sabotaging themselves by choosing more calorie-rich foods.

According to several studies, people who eat only dry cereals with milk for breakfast consume (on average) 10 percent fewer calories than those who have other breakfast foods. They also eat less fat at breakfast, and this practice continues throughout the day in other meals.
