Eating a Big Breakfast for Weight Loss
Eating a Big Breakfast for Weight Loss.. A diet- weight loss system would be more effective when you eat more in the morning than in the evening.
Many health experts say that when you start the day with a proper – balanced breakfast, you will avoid snacking during the day and increasing the risk of obesity-related diseases- cardiovascular disease, diabetes.
A new study explains that consuming a larger number of calories at breakfast rather than later in the day will help you lose weight through dieting.
Weight Loss: Big breakfast and light dinner?
If you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast is a bad idea! Furthermore, it is essential to eat healthy, be it morning, afternoon or evening.
University of Tel Aviv researchers explain that big breakfasts facilitate weight loss through diet, whereas a large dinner promotes weight gain.
The study, published in the Obesity Journal, has supported 93 women who were overweight or obese. Half of them consumed 700 calories in the morning, 500 calories at lunch and 200 calories in the evening. The other half, however, consumed 700 calories at dinner. The two groups therefore had the same daily caloric intake, but distributed differently.
After 12 weeks of diet, the study ended : The group of women who ate a lot for breakfast lost an average of 18 pounds and a few cms on the waistline. As for the other women, they lost an average of 7 pounds and less on the waistline than the other group- 1.4 cm on average.
Diet: A timing of meals is essential
The researchers explain that the circadian rhythms of our bodies affect our metabolism: “Depending on the time of day at which you eat, there is a real impact on the amount of weight you lose, and especially when dieting it is essential to have a proper meal timing, in addition to regular exercise and a balanced diet”.
The study also found that levels of insulin, triglycerides and glucose in the breakfast group were much lower than the levels in the group than the dinner group, which could eventually lead to a decreased risk of obesity-related diseases like cardiovascular diseases , diabetes and hypertension.
So if you will eat a big meal, do it in breakfast time rather than dinner and choose healthy foods that are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber like eggs, low fat plain yogurt, fruits, low-fat cheese, tomato, olives, cucumber and more. English and Turkish breakfasts are my favorites.
