Breakfast IS the most important meal of the day…
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Many people who struggle with weight problems or muscle building problems leave out the most important meal of the day, breakfast. A recent study analyzed the breakfasts of 19,000 people, ages 12 and older, finding that high-fiber, low-fat breakfasts may promote healthy weight control more than the “refined” breakfasts most people are eating. The No. 1 reason people say they skimp on breakfast is time, prompting the average Joe to grab-and-go. Still, according to the American Dietetic Association, “breakfast doesn’t have to be fancy or traditional to meet nutritional needs” — and you can get started on simple, easy and healthful breakfasts.
A classic excuse for skipping breakfast is often about dieting. People feel that by ignoring the first meal of the day, they are reducing their caloric intake and promoting weight loss. A vicious cycle is started to eat a larger meal toward the end of the day and actually not be hungry for breakfast the next morning. Our body loves to be fueled often to perform well.
