Research shows that people who eat breakfast are a healthier weight and have more nutritious diets than people who skip breakfast. Breakfast skippers tend to crave high-GI foods and develop sweet cravings later on in the day. They are more likely to binge eat at their next meal.
Breakfast means just that, breaking the fast from sleep time. When we are asleep, our metabolism is lowered, because the body is in a resting state. During this time, glucose stores are used up and your body is in a state of starvation. It is important for the starvation state to be broken in the morning. Eating within 60 minutes of waking will kick start your metabolism and keep it fired up for the rest of the day.
Not only will breakfast help you train better and burn more energy, it will give you a mental edge. Eating a healthy breakfast helps to improve alertness, concentration, mind performance and memory.
If you do not feel hungry in the morning, this means you have eaten too much the night before. Reduce your dinner portions so you wake up hungry. If you still do not feel hungry, delay rather than skip breakfast. Try postponing breakfast for 30 minutes and consume a small mouthful of food to boost the metabolism
