When looking for an article, I found a video on MSNBC Health about how eating a healthy breakfast in the morning will help you to lose weight. Since it was just a video, I did some looking around and found a similar article from The Mayo Clinic.
This article states that eating a healthy breakfast will help to reduce hunger throughout the day, help you to make healthier choices and give you more energy through the day. Skipping breakfast can actually increase your chances of obesity because when you skip breakfast you are prolonging fasting and that causes your body to increase its insulin response which increases fat storage and weight gain. The article also states that skipping breakfast is also associated with a decrease in physical activity throughout the day.
People often feel like to lose weight, they should skip meals..eating less calories = putting on less weight. However, this article shows us that this is not the case and that making healthy choices is more important than skipping out on meals all together.
Although eating a healthy breakfast is essential, losing weight here may take much more work. From my own experience eating a healthy breakfast satisfies hunger which may give you less desire for lunch, but this too is not a good practice. Personally I will eat all three meals for essential nutrients along with exercise.
ReplyDeleteEating breakfast, I think is essential. If you work in the morning or goto school, no matter what age, your concentration is usually better and your more focused on the task at hand. I think a lot of people who skip this meal can benefit greatly by adding some complex carbs and lean protein to their morning routine.
ReplyDeleteI have found that eating breakfast is quite important, it gives you healthy start that quickstarts your metabolism to begin burning calories all day, those who don't eat breakfast can trick their bodys into believing that they are starving because they haven't broken the fast from the night before which leads to weight gain.
