WHAT SLIM PEOPLE EAT FOR BREAKFAST

Slim people eat breakfast.

That’s an indisputable fact, according to a new study from Cornell University. When researchers surveyed 147 slender people who said they’d never had to struggle with their weight, they found that a whopping 96 percent of them ate breakfast nearly every day. (Among the general

population, about 28 percent of men and 18 percent of women ages 18 to 34 skip breakfast every day, according to a study by The NPD Group.)

But it’s not just eating breakfast that makes slender people seem “naturally skinny.” People who manage their weight well tend to eat similar things for breakfast. Fifty-one percent of the slim people surveyed said that on a typical day, their breakfast included a serving of fruit. Forty-one percent said they ate dairy; other popular choices were cold cereal (33%), bread (32%), eggs (31%), and hot cereal (29%). And, in one very interesting finding, only 26% of slim people said they started their day with coffee.
