STOP SKIPPING BREAKFAST!

STARTING YOUR DAY WITH IN.POWER SETS YOU UP TO SUCCEED

We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and recent studies have now solidified that motto. Research shows that by skipping breakfast you actually stall weight loss. New research out of Tel Aviv University in Israel found that women who ate breakfast lost an incredible 240 percent more weight and twice as many inches from their belly as those who skipped a morning meal.(1)
Additionally, scientists from the University of Missouri, breakfast-skippers tend to weigh more and have other unhealthy habits. But, you may be surprised that it wasn’t the act of eating breakfast alone that determined the benefit, but what participants ate for breakfast that ultimately proved to be the most important factor. Only individuals who ate high protein breakfasts reported more satiety and less overeating throughout the day. The study, which used magnetic imaging of the brain, concluded that a protein-rich breakfast reduces brain signals that control food desires/cravings, even several hours after breakfast. According to research, individuals who start the day with a protein-rich breakfast consume 200 fewer calories a day than those who chow down on a carb-heavy breakfast like cereal or bagels.(2)
