Is Breakfast really Important?

2/26/2014

Picture
“Breakfast” is your body breaking its fast from not eating the entire night and your metabolism having been slowed down to conserve calories. Eating wakes up your metabolism and starts burning those calories to lose or maintain a healthy weight. By skipping this meal you are left hungry, grumpy and unable to concentrate.  At lunch you are more likely to choose foods high in sugar or fats. Research has found that by eating breakfast your overall appetite is decreased; you snack less; you lose weight; improve your concentration and have improved blood sugar control. However, the “nutritious” label does not always mean healthy so it is important to read labels as some cereals have more sugar than desserts. A balanced breakfast should include protein, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates. Protein smoothies complete with fruit and vegetables can be made the night before if you’re rushed in the mornings.
