Skipping Breakfast Can Lead to Weight Gain

Eating a healthy breakfast can refuel your body, and help you to eat less later in the day. When you skip breakfast, you are more likely to overeat later in the day. Consuming a healthy balance of carbohydrates, fat, and protein can fill you up, and satisfy your hunger.  

Eating breakfast can help get your day off to a good start and help you stay energized. When you sleep, your digestive system slows down. Many people eat lightly or skip food completely in the morning, eat heavier in the afternoon, and finish off with a big dinner (and dessert too). There is a problem with this strategy as it deprives you of food when you need it the most, which is in the morning. If you skip breakfast, your body stays in this slower state, slowing your metabolism and leading to weight gain. 

Breakfast is not just an extra meal. It serves several purposes in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To learn how to start simple healthy habit, join my FREE 7 Day Healthy Habits Challenge ($97 Value Yours for Free for a limited time). The challenge kicks off on 1/27/2020.
