I recently came across a new study about the benefits of breakfast. We have always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; but have we ever really believed it? I personally seriously had my doubts, I tend to skip breakfast more often than not or grab a yogurt on the way out the door in the morning, not exactly the breakfast of champions.
Anyways this study actually clinically showed that breakfast has a significant impact on weight loss. In fact contrary to popular belief a carb-heavy breakfast was more effective long-term than a low carb diet.
Low carb diets are well known for their high initial weight-loss and in the first few weeks of the study it appeared like the low carb dieters would be the big losers. However by the end of the 8 month study the subjects that were on the big breakfast diet lost significantly more weight than those on the low carb diets.
So roll out of bed a few minutes earlier and eat a big breakfast to start your day off right.
