If you've ever been on a diet and "finished" it, you know that it's nearly impossible to keep your weight off. As you try to become a regular member of society by actually eating a real meal, you become frustrated because you gain weight. For years, I would diet and slowly quit eating...

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So why is it the one we have the most trouble with? I hear all the time, "I mean I don't eat breakfast, and I'm still gaining weight." In college, I didn't eat breakfast, because let's be honest, what college student gets up, gets...
