    Serious no one heard any studies on breakfast and weight loss? I been majorly into nutrition for over 8 years and I have many articles on the matter. More than I can post.

    I used to work at a book ware house stocking books all day and eating breakfast was a must. I would wake up hungry and by the time lunch came around also I was hungry. Even if you watched the Biggest Loose they get them to eat breakfast (small).
    Plus why is it recommended to eat 5-6 small meals than 3 regular?

    As look up Protein included in breakfast helps people too to loose weight. Stay way from cereal, even many of the healthy cereals have a lot of sugars in them. They can spike the blood sugar and leave crashing soon later. That is why many cereals you can crush in to powder easily (easily digested and processed). Why they recommend eating a small amount of fruit and yogurt (protein) to start off with, 12 grain bread with butter. Juices I would stay away from unless you can eat a healthy breakfast. Because juices will spike blood sugar too, Which is why they say apple juice can give you more energy in the morning than cup of coffee. Thus why they use apple juice to sweeten other fruit juices. You can try to also eat a little bit of cheese and or peanut butter.

    Also it is an “old wives’ tale”, a myth that came about because after a while of eating less, we seem to get used to it.
    Which many people claimed the stomach stays the same size.
    It turns out they were wrong, at least about the stomach shrinking part. Here’s the scoop: Researchers at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Department of Medicine and Psychiatry at St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital have actually measured the size of the stomachs of people before and after 4 weeks of eating less. They found that dieters had their stomachs shrink by 27-36%!

    Why I am mentioning this many people and I who fast for just one day realize after doing so we can barely eat as much as we did. from dinner to breakfast for many can be 12 hour stretch. Which also a couple times I missed breakfast and be ravenously hungry by lunch time and bite off more than I can chew then.

    When I dropped the majority of my weight (45lbs) I wasnt eating breakfast. After doing some research, studies do show that people do tend to lose weight more if they eat breakfast.

    This is not saying that if you dont eat breakfast, you wont lose weight. Its saying: statistically people have been able to keep their weight off and saw greater weight loss than those who didnt eat breakfast.

    Studies from controlled and variables trials showed that :
    Each time you eat, you stimulate your metabolism for a short period of time, which means that the more often you eat, the more you’ll increase your metabolism. Eating every 2 to 3 hours feeds muscle and starves fat. By eating frequently, you reassure your body that you aren’t going to starve; that food will always be available.

    THE BIG DEAL:

    Skipping breakfast, eating only a sandwich for lunch, and pigging out at dinner, on the other hand, frightens your body into storing fat, just in case your next meal never comes.
    Research from Georgia State University shows that people who eat every 2 to 3 hours have less body fat and faster metabolisms than those who eat only 2 or 3 meals per day.


    Again not everyone has the same metabolism, but in a more generalized population, eating breakfast has shown results that cant be faked. Not eating breakfast COULD case your body to think its starving and cause you to store more fat because it COULD believe that its starving.


    I started eating breakfast on a daily basis starting back in January as a new years resolution. It has helped me in my cut and has also made me more aware of when to eat and how often to eat for my own personal progress.

    I was NEVER a fan of breakfast and always thought it was BULL but I forced myself to do it. My breakfast is simple and filling, while also very nutritious:

    1 scoop of cytosport banana and strawberry complete whey
    1/4 cup of raspberries or grapes or blueberries
    3/4 cup of strawberries
    HELLA water.
    blend it up and sip it on my way to class for about 30mins until its all gone.
    Fast digesting carbs/simple sugars can be good in a breakfast along with the antioxidants and the protein helps keep you feeling nice and full for a while.

    Again, everyone is different. No need to argue with several studies that came to the same conclusion, do what you want.

    Nope. I almost never eat breakfast. Besides, it makes me hungrier for the rest of the day. Some people find that it makes them feel less hungry during the day. Whatever works for you.
