DO YOU WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT? EAT BREAKFAST!!!
Some people THINK THAT IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO SKIP BREAKFAST in an effort to lose Weight, BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT. Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can actually make weight control more difficult. For the record, Breakfast skippers tend to eat more food than usual at the next meal, or they nibble on high-calorie snacks to stave off hunger.
Some studies suggest that people tend to add more body fat when they eat fewer meals! They will then eat larger meals when they do sit down to eat, rather than eating more frequent meals. There are now new studies that seem to show that weight management can be equally effective without breakfast . I do not believe skipping BREAKFAST!
Why Kids Need Breakfast
While adults need to eat breakfast each day to perform their best, kids need it even more. Their growing bodies and developing brains need regular refueling often, from food. When kids skip breakfast, they don’t get what they need to be at their best. Breakfast is so important to all of us. Short on time? Make the time! Eating a wholesome, nutritious morning meal will probably save you time in the long run. By recharging the brain and body, you’ll be more efficient in just about everything you do.
Interestingly, studies show that kids who skip breakfast are tardy and absent from school more often than children who eat breakfast on a regular basis. Preparing a good breakfast can be as quick and easy as splashing some milk over cereal, or making oatmeal or a healthy smoothie. Smoothie are a great way to get a lot of nutrition in all at once.
My favorite is KEFIR, I like my clients to use that in the smoothies adding in frozen blueberries or fresh fruit, along with ground flaxseed and a Nutritious Protein Power. I personally like to use Coconut Milk, but Almond Milk or Rice Milk are perfectly fine as well. It only takes less than 2 minutes to make a nutritious smoothie for Breakfast.
