Losing weight
does not mean saying no to breakfast. As unrealistic as it may
sound to eat to lose weight, there is validity to the weight
loss theory. From enhanced concentration levels, longevity and
a svelter figure, consumption of breakfast represents many health
benefits. to In fact, nutritionists advise dieters to eat a
breakfast high in fiber and other nutrients from fruits.
The disadvantage to skipping
breakfast is that a dieter is more prone to over indulge at
lunch. The findings associated with being overweight and missing
breakfast were duly reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Dr. Yunsheng Ma, noted that
individuals who missed breakfast were almost five times more
apt to be overweight than people who are did not skip the first
meal of the day. The drawback with consuming a high caloric
breakfast is that too many calories are ingested.
Where dieter consume their
breakfast makes all the difference in the world. Dr. Ma determined
that when people dine out for breakfast, they are more apt to
experience weight gain. When compared with a home-cooked first
meal of the day, restaurant meals are higher in caloric value
because the food is usually refined, contains less fiber, has
more oil and the portions are more excessive.
The findings of the study noted
a wealth of benefits associated with eating breakfast. For starters,
the consumption of breakfast helps the body lose weight. When
the body is deprived of foods it has a tendency to conserve
energy or hang on to fat because it is responding to a shortage.
As a result, the metabolism slows down to accommodate the deprivation.
Other advantages to eating
breakfast can found the longevity and improved concentration
levels.
