Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?

one in five of us skip breakfast every morning, according to a 2003 study, and we probably think we’re doing something healthy—less food, less fat, right? But in truth, people who skip breakfast are 450% more likely to be overweight or obese. They are training their bodies to store fat, the way you do if you skip meals regularly.

We’re also training our bodies to store the most dangerous fat— abdominal fat. This fat isn’t a static cluster of useless tissue. It’s a living, growing mass, practically an organism all its own—one that builds, divides, and excretes toxins back into our systems, that draws blood flow and nutrients away from the rest of our bodies, that alters the distribution of hormones in our bloodstreams, that presses on our organs and hampers their function.

Studies show that men and women who have high levels of abdominal fat—as opposed to those who have fat more evenly distributed— are at greater risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even some forms of cancer.

The shocking truth about America’s obesity problem is that we’re fat because we’re starving. The best way to make yourself fat is to let yourself get hungry. And we live in a nation of people who are hungry all of the time.

Breakfast is extremely important for a healthy diet. By not eating breakfast in the morning your slowing down your metabolism which will make it harder to lose weight and it will break food down slower as well. This can make you actually gain weight. When you eat breakfast your keeping your metabolism going and it actually gets your body ready to take on the activities of the day. It also helps to energize your body as well as your brain and keep you from not staying focused during the day. Hope this helps! ~Alanna
