Start your day with a healthy breakfast
This is a mandatory rule. Breakfast does not mean that as long as you have had a cup of tea in the morning this is okay. This should be a sustainable amount of breakfast. A breakfast where you can easily eat a balanced meal at the start of the day. Eating a reasonable amount of breakfast will lead to more weight loss than eating a small sized amount of breakfast.
If you claim you don’t have time to sit and have breakfast, then you will need to create time. If you don’t sacrifice what you want, what you want becomes a sacrifice by itself. Hence, if you don’t create time to make breakfast in the morning you will not achieve your weight goal. You could even make your breakfast beforehand in the evening or a whole batch for the week depending on your schedule. Here you could include yoghurt, cereals, eggs, whole weight grain in your preferences. Everything great exists because of sacrifice.
