You may think that skipping breakfast or lunch would be a good way to cut calories it’s not! Skipping meals lowers your blood sugar, which brings on cravings for high carbohydrate, high calorie foods. It is far better for you and your diet to eat three to four, even five small meals a day than one or two large meals, because the smaller meals throughout the day will keep your blood sugar on an even keel. If your blood sugar remains constant, you are less likely to overeat and gain weight.
Similarly, fasting does not lead to weight loss, because when you fast your body thinks you are starving and attempts to conserve calories by slowing your body metabolism considerably. Because you burn calories at a much slower rate it’s unlikely you will lose any weight at all by fasting.
Besides, once you resume your food intake, your body’s metabolism remains in its slowed down phase until it’s sure you’re not starving. During this time, most of the calories you eat get stored in fat cells, and you are likely to gain extra weight instead of losing weight.
Start Your Day Off Right
People who never eat breakfast usually make up for it sometime during the day, and then some. By the time lunch comes, your low blood sugar gives you a ravenous appetite and you’re sure to overeat. Or you may get hungry long before lunchtime arrives, and you’ll end up devouring doughnuts and coffee. People who skip breakfast seem to make up for it threefold by snacking mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and late evening.
When you skip breakfast, your body thinks you are starving, and in response it slows your metabolism. This results in sluggishness and fatigue, which in turn cause you to “just eat something” in order to feel better. Eating speeds up the metabolism and elevates the blood sugar, and to and behold, you feel better. Then the blood sugar rapidly drops again, and you feel fatigued again, and so you eat again. This is called functional hypoglycemia or low blood sugar, which results from just skipping meals.
The Most Successful Dieters Eat Breakfast
Studies show that people who eat a healthy breakfast every day are the most successful dieters. Healthy breakfasts of whole grain, high fiber cereal topped with fruit and skim milk ire a great way to start the day, or an egg fried in a small amount of olive oil on a slice of toasted whole wheat bread makes a great lean protein meal.
A slice of whole wheat bread topped with a tablespoon of all fruit jelly and/or natural peanut butter is an appetite satisfying breakfast. People who regularly eat a healthy breakfast don’t get hungry for mid-morning snacks of doughnuts or muffins. Your body’s appetite control mechanism stays in check for long periods of time, without any spikes in blood sugar or blood insulin levels.
And besides, a nutritious breakfast causes your body to burn fat more efficiently and starts your day off perfectly.
