Skipping Breakfast to Lose Weight? Don’t.

Friday, March 11th, 2011

A common mistake in people trying to lose weight is the practice of skipping meals. Breakfast being one of those meals skipped. In other cases, people will eat a very light breakfast (nutrition bar, bowl of cereal, etc.). This is a mistake. Actually, losing weight is accomplished by NOT skipping meals like breakfast and instead eating 4-5 smaller meals a day. But think of breakfast as filling your car up with gas before a road trip. You are the car, breakfast is the gasoline and your day is the road trip. You wouldn’t put $5 of gas in your tank at the beginning of the trip just to have to put more in after a few miles would you? So eat a hearty, healthy breakfast and be more prepared to make healthy choices throughout the day.

Here are some articles talking about the benefits of eating breakfast:
