There is a misconception that skipping breakfast is a good way to help you lose weight.
But think again! Studies have shown that eating breakfast actually helps you lose weight.
People who eat breakfast tend to eat fewer calories, less fat, less cholesterol, and generally eat better than people who skip breakfast.
There are also studies to show that eating breakfast may reduce your chances of heart disease, diabetes, and the dreaded obesity factor.
Research has shown that people who skipped breakfast were 35 percent to 50 percent more at risk than those who ate breakfast.
Unfortunately 90% of people who diet, skip breakfast.
And those who did skip breakfast tended to eat more towards the end of the day.
It makes sense to eat earlier in the day while you can burn those calories since night time is when most people relax and go to sleep.
So what should I eat for breakfast? Great choices would be things that are filled with proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, high fiber, and low carbohydrates.
Eggs, fish, chicken, whole grain cereals and breads, and oatmeal are great options.
The things you will want to stay away from are foods that contain lots of sugar.
Most cereals aimed at children are loaded with sugar.
Bagels and muffins most often have a lot of fat and hidden sugars.
Even white bread should be taken off your breakfast menu.
If you are the type of person who says they just aren't hungry in the morning, then I encourage you to make it a point to eat something every day.
Within one month, your body will be begging you for food in the morning.
