Various medical research findings
are pointing to the perks of eating breakfast to lose more weight.
As seen with many fad diets (Adkins’, South Beach, the Watermelon
diet and others), consistent nutrition is the key to sustained
weight loss.
It’s one of the reasons that breakfast has been found to be
a valuable aspect of weight loss.
A study on weigh control was conducted at the University of
Colorado. The finding depicted that more than 75 percent of
dieters or individuals were able to successfully maintain weight
loss by making breakfast a part of their daily diet.
Another clinical evaluation reported that consumption of cereal
(either ready-to-eat or cooked) for breakfast was associated
with substantially slighter body mass index than either eating
meat and eggs or skipping breakfast, altogether. (Information
provided by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
Another study has found a significant correlation between children,
adolescents and senior citizens who consume breakfast. The findings
strongly suggest that an increase in cognition and concentration
are experienced from the consumption of an appropriate breakfast.
These clinical trials are posing new questions: as what is
the appropriate breakfast? Is it bacon, eggs, pancakes, toast,
French toast, ham or steak? In the opinions and studies of nutritional
experts the appropriate breakfast includes any to all of the
following components:
? Low-calories
? Fruit
? High-fiber
? Low-sugar
? Fortified cereals
? Skim milk
The benefits of the above recommendations serve several purposes:
healthy, fast and tasty. Nonetheless, not everyone buys into
the theory that “breakfast is the most important meal of the
day.”
When breakfast is skipped it really defeats the purpose of
weight loss. Essentially, several things occur when people skip
breakfast. Primarily, there is a tendency to overeat during
other meals. Secondly, the concentration is impaired.
