The No. 1 trick sumo wrestlers employ to gain weight is skipping breakfast. It slows metabolism because our bodies mistakenly think we are starving. We operate on a lower level both physically and mentally and, therefore, we require less food, shuttling "extra" calories into fat stores.
A balanced breakfast includes protein, carbohydrates and healthy fat. Plenty of water upon waking is also key.
