Eat Breakfast to Lose Weight

A study appearing in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2009; 63, 405-412) found an association between skipping breakfast and becoming overweight or obese. Information was gathered about breakfast, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption in 25,176 teen-aged subjects. The researchers found that skipping breakfast had a stronger association with being overweight obese-stronger than alcohol consumption or physcial inactivity. Other research appearing in Family Practice News (May 15, 2003:10) looked at 1,943 adults between the ages of 25 and 37 and found that those who ate breakfast seven days per week were less likely ot be obese, or to have insulin resistance. The risk for insulin resistance was between 37% and 55% lower for regular breakfast eaters than for those who ate breakfast seldom or never.
