1. The very act of eating breakfast can speed up your metabolism, which is critical to weight loss. If you eat dinner around 7pm and wait until lunch time to eat again, as many as 17 hours might have passed. Apart from weight, breakfast is therefore critical to your overall health and well-being.

2. Skipping breakfast tends to make you overeat at lunch. Research has shown that the vast majority of successful dieters do eat breakfast. Breakfast can also aid your concentration, improves ones’ focus, helping him/her at work or school.

3. Choose a high fiber meal, such as cereal, high protein meal, such as scrambled eggs and ham. Your breakfast should contain plenty of vitamins and minerals to help your body remain healthy throughout the day

4. It is critical to remain positive when trying to lose weight, this is very important.. Breakfast sets the pattern for the day, because if you make healthy decisions at breakfast, you are more likely to make the right decision regarding the other meals of the day.

5. However, one thing you must avoid at breakfast is eating something high in sugar, such as sugary breakfast cereal. Breakfast can also enhance the efficiency of the body, making it easier for you to burn fat

6. While it is important to eat breakfast, it is equally important to issue a cautionary note. Some people think that they can eat breakfast and then skip the rest of their meals. This is not a healthy approach. Your body needs to eat regular meals in order to work effectively. Eat five or six smaller meals.

7. Eating breakfast is a habit, which means if you have not be eating breakfast for a while, it may be a difficult habit to get into. Persistence is the key to starting a healthy habit. Rather than trying to eat breakfast on the run, make sure you actually sit at the table and eat. Schedule time for breakfast and make it a priority in your life.

Also skipping breakfast sometimes affects your mood for the day. And when your mood is affected, you tend to over eat (emotional eating).

As a result, you will usually reach for junk foods instead of healthy foods and this will definitely increase the fats around that waistline.

Hope this helps

Very true especially point 2. Whenver I don't eat breakfast, I tend to overeat lunch. Yet some people believe the best way to lose weight is virtually starving themselves till at least noon.

I know

OK.

Eating breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism, thereby breaking your night-long fast. Gets your digestive system jiggy.

that is good to note

Most people sleep in the night without any hope of what to eat in the morning.will you blame them for skipping morning meal till lunch ?

Brunch is actually an austerity measure

But one Dr said the body isn't ready for digestion until 12noon. All these your contradictory findings. Who should we believe?

Nobody talks about gaining weight! na so so lose weight pesin dey see

Different strokes for different folks.....I tend to eat crap in the day whenever I eat breakfast. Yea, I normally jumpstart my metabolism by doing a couple of squats and crunches, followed by a hot cup of green tea or lemon. I'm not cut out for all these breakfast nonsense....Where is the time to eat breakfast sef
I also zip my mouth and put the fork down once it's 6pm, with that I won't be hungry in the morning.

If u want 2 maintain/loose weight, eat high quality foods n nt high quantity foods. Most importantly, lower ur digestible carbohydrate rich foods, such as garri, fufu, rice, sugar,etc. Increase ur non-digestible carbohydrt food (fibre) intake, because it mks ur stomach fill instantly without contributing 2 calory. Fibre also has many health benefits. Foods rich in fibre include cucumba, carrot, leafy vegetables, oda fruits n vegetables, cereals such as corn etc, legume such as beans, etc. Also, never forget 2 maintain moderate fat intake. Eat fruits n vegetables as meal. Avoid sugary foods. Fruits n vegetables also provide d body vitamins n minerals and oda phytochemicals needed for normal body function

I don't joke with my breakfast.
Also, ulcer patients should not joke with their breakfast.

Breakfast must be taken, and should not be beyond 9am.

What if one does not have what to eat for breakfast?

Well....

ignis: What if one does not have what to eat for breakfast?

Turn it to fasting. If there's still no food in the afternoon, continue the fasting. In the evening, if after all your effort to get food the world is still not fair to you, turn the fasting to biribiri. Your biribiri could continue for one or two months, it doesn't matter. What matters is that God will surely answer your prayer one day although by then, you fit don fat like fido-dido. Hope I have answered your question.

I never even chop bellefood, I go come dey reason weight loss ...

I no get time table for food ooo. Anytime I am hungry, be it 2am, I just eat as much as I want to.

I want to disagree that if you miss breakfast you will over eat during lunch. I have been a regular at the gym for about 9years now I take my breakfast by 11.30/ 12am medium portion then take dinner by 8pm. In between fruits but I take loads and loads of water. Soft drinks no longer appeal to me.

;Dif u no eat bfast as a student u cme go early mrning class..u go just dy watch d lecturer lyk zombie,concentration u go lost...
