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. |
