Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected . Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting（节食）.
Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.
A good breakfast should provide up to1/3 of your total calories needs for the day. On average（平均）, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter for the breakfast in the morning.
If you aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有营养的) mid-morning snack alter when you are hungry.
So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you eat more. That’s because your body is working all day long , in fact, you are probably not.
Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very quickly. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals through the day, you are less likely to become hungry and fill yourself as soon as you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles, and cereals.(谷物)。

We’re both surprised that Chinese culture or Russian culture are so different. Now, we are planning a small party for the next Sunday. There, Katia will introduce me to some of her friends, one of who has been to China several times. I just can’t wait.

Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? 1.
1. Identify your core values.
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. 2.Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
2. Pick a goal and focus on it.
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. 3.If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
3. Set a deadline for success.
Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. 4.By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.
4.5.
Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and move on!
A. Stick to your goal.
B. Make the right decision.
C. I’ve made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.
D. Sit and reflect on what you value most.
E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.
F. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.
G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.
