 Though skipping breakfast might seem like an easy way for dieters to cut calories, the majority of people who are successful at losing weight and keeping it off eat breakfast every day.The researchers analyzed data on nearly 3,000 people, mostly women, enrolled in the National Weight Control Registry, an ongoing study of adults who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept the weight off for a year or more. The average participant in the new analysis had lost about 70 pounds. 2,313 participants (78%) had breakfast 7 days a week, while another 151 (5%) had breakfast 6 days a week and 136 (5%) had breakfast 5 days a week. Only 114 (4%) said they never ate breakfast. Source: Annual Meeting of the American Society for Clinical Nutrition San Diego February 24, 2002
