"After a few days, you should have an appetite within an hour of getting up," says Brenda Malinauskas, Ph.D., RD, assistant professor of nutrition at East Carolina University.
The change will be worth it. Research shows that skipping breakfast can lead to increased binge eating later in the day, even if you're not actually hungry when you jump out of bed. In fact, only 27 percent of normal-weight people reported skipping breakfast, compared to 40 percent of overweight women and 48 percent of obese women, according to Malinauskas' study.
Other evidence suggests that calories consumed early in the day are more satisfying than those consumed in the evening, making it easier for breakfast eaters to control binge eating and maintain a healthy weight.
