Why Missing Breakfast is a Bad Idea

If there is one way to control our energy levels as the start of the day and keep them consistent for the day then it is having a good breakfast. Have you ever avoided eating in the morning and felt like this was a great way to lose weight or fight the flab? you probably thought "well, it must be good because I'm cutting out one meal a day!" This is hardly ever a good idea because avoiding eating in the morning affects our energy levels and mood for the whole day. It sounds like a good idea on paper but it isn't. Let me tell you why.

Downsides of missing breakfast:
Your metabolism slows down due to the lack of food and energy to use and so energy reserves are conserved. This will probably make you less efficient and productive. You are more likely to give in to those unhealthy, sugary snacks. This will make your energy plummet in the later part of the day as your blood sugar levels drop again. Some research claims that by missing breakfast you are more likely to put on weight by eating more. Your body might decide to eat your muscles as a way of gaining energy - muscle loss could be the result.

Benefits of having a good breakfast:
Your metabolism gets a good boost when eat in the morning. It gets woken up from its dozy state and gets your energy up and running and ready to face the day's challenges. You can fill up on fibre which is an essential part of a healthy diet. Fibre helps you avoid putting on weight, keeps you, err, regular and helps you feel full. It's good for your concentration, alertness and mood.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for several reasons and we are denying ourselves a vital opportunity for governing our energy and our ability to deal with life if we choose to miss it. A simple, healthy breakfast without too much sugar will help us focus and work at the things that are important in our lives.
