Every weight loss study shows that eating breakfast daily or almost daily is a key factor among people who lose 40-60 lbs. and keep it off year after year. In a study in the Journal of Obesity Research, an ongoing look at successful maintainers of significant weight loss, nearly 80 per cent ate breakfast everyday as part of their routine to stay thin. Cereal was their favorite choice but other high protein foods worked just as well.
End Up Eating More if Skip Breakfast:
Research shows that skipping breakfast usually results in eating more food later in the day.In fact, just 27 percent of normal-weight people reported skipping breakfast, compared with 40 percent of overweight men and 48 percent of obese women.
Breakfast, including proteins such as eggs, ham, cheese, bacon, or high-protein bars or cereals, stabilizes the blood sugar for the rest of day and ensures better choices at lunch. When you skip breakfast, your blood sugar falls throughout the morning and you arrive at lunch not only hungry, but with a low blood sugar. Making bad choices like eating at fast food restaurants or having large lunches that resemble evening meals is the result. Individuals working in schools or offices who skip breakfast are vulnerable to the "bad choices" that coworkers make and are likely to just "go along with the crowd."
Guidelines for Breakfast:
You need to realize that not all breakfasts are created equally
Breakfast choices depend mostly on convenience, rather cravings or even hunger. If you don't have time for breakfast, pick up something "on-the-go". But do not go to Fast Food Restaurants, Dun-kin Donuts or Starbucks for Breakfast. All of the food selections on the right are 400-500 calories or more. Many combination
breakfasts can exceed 700 or 800 calories.
The following guidelines will help you create a perfect breakfast:
If you are not hungry, you don't have to eat a "sit down" breakfast. High protein bars, shakes, low fat yogurt, and string cheese work are certainly better than nothing.
Skipping breakfast slows down your metabolism, so when you do eat your chance of burning off the calories is reduced.
Skipping breakfast leads to poor choices at lunch and often loss of control of the day's food.
Coffee and juice only are not breakfast.
Convenience "rules" at breakfast, it's just as easy to grab a protein bar than a 600 calorie carb loaded
bagel or pastries.
DO NOT GO TO FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS FOR BREAKFAST
