Every so often I review the basics. Always a good idea just in case somehow or another the information has escaped you or perhaps you’ve got a case of amnesia. Seems to happen to a lot of folk who are dieting, doesn’t it?
\nTRUE or FALSE? Skipping breakfast aids weight loss.<\/strong>
\nMaybe y’all think that if you don’t eat breakfast, you just saved yourself 300 calories and are that much closer to that skinny-minnie body that you’re after. Sorry to be the one to tell you, but it just doesn’t work that way!
\nWhat THOSE IN THE KNOW say:<\/strong>
\nA recent study conducted at the University of Texas at El Paso found that those who eat a morning meal actually ingest less calories over the course of the day.
\nThe Scary State of OVER-HUNGRY:<\/strong>
\nSkipping meals leads to a state of ‘over-hungry,’ which often leads us down the path of destruction – straight to lack of control distorted satiety signals.
\nIt becomes more difficult to tell when you are full. This can result in taking in more calories than had you eaten your breakfast in the first place.
\nThe Benefits of Breakfast:<\/strong>
\nEating breakfast is also known to improve concentration, problem solving ability, mental performance, memory and mood. Life is tough enough without this extra added pressure!
\nOne Thing that YOU CAN Do Today!
\nEat up, eat healthy!
\nRighteous Recipe
