Consider a fire. If you put logs on it at night – over the night, it slowly burns through what is there – when you wake up, if you don’t bother to put more wood on the fire, it goes out.
This is your metabolism. You must consistently provide fuel for your body. If you stop putting in fuel, the metabolism slows down – it’s a protection measure your body utilizes if it thinks it’s starving. The result, unfortunately, is that by skipping meals, you have the exact opposite effect you are looking for . Your body holds onto the fat that’s there even HARDER.
I disagree with the special K suggestion – I would suggest a high protien breakfast. It will make you feel more full, for a longer time, as it takes your body longer to process protien.
Consider this idea – eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner. It will provide energy you need while helping you reach your goal of being healthier.
Good luck!
Breakfast stands for Break the fast because while you are sleeping your body in a fasting mode and when you wake up you need to break the fast by eating something so it starts up your metoblisim and you burn more calories thru out the day
You burn more fat throughout the day than at night. So, if you eat something healthy (like Special K with a banana and fat-free milk) at breakfast, you will have more energy, added vitamins and a faster metobolism. Even a healthy breakfast bar or OJ is better than nothing. Keep your metabolism going!
It is definitely better to eat breakfast if you are concerned about your health and want to prevent or lose fat in your body. It’s true that when you skip meals your body thinks it’s starving so it starts to hold on to fat deposits. If you only want to eat three times a day then the advice to eat like a king, prince, then pauper is accurate.
But you may find you aren’t hungry enough in the morning to eat a big breakfast. Or (like myself) they wake up with just barely enough time to get to class or work. Many people find success in eating 5 or 6 smaller meals a day. The key here is to make sure you aren’t eating regular portions each meal but actually reduce your intake so that these smaller meals equals what you would get from three standard meals.
