Secret about Breakfast and weight loss

Some people think that skipping breakfast will help you lose weight. It will not.

Studies show a direct link between breakfast and weight loss and successful skippers than breakfast, lunch and eating in general:

• Eat fewer calories throughout the day
• Eat less saturated fat and cholesterol
• Have eating habits more
• lower weight (women 4kgs/men three pounds less)


# The key to losing weight successfully

The key to success is the weight loss by burning more calories we consume every day. Our body burns calories 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. How long do you burn calories is called our metabolic rate. Our individual rates of metabolic changes during the day and night and that things like the last time you ate and whether they are active or at rest. Even if you burn calories while we sleep, our metabolic rate decreases significantly in this period and therefore burn less calories per hour.

(Now, before you go thinking of abandoning the dream of losing weight, which certainly is not the answer, I tell you differently).

The way to maximize the number of calories you burn each day is to stay awake longer, but to maximize our metabolic rate, while we are awake. This is where breakfast


# Why breakfast is so important for weight loss.

One of the secrets to lose weight is to start our metabolism as soon as possible after waking. The best way is to eat breakfast. Actually, nothing, including exercise, our metabolism is happening so quickly after eight hours of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast!

When you skip breakfast, not only our metabolic rates stay low, our level of blood sugar. Low blood sugar from the lack of breakfast often leads us to feel lethargic. Low levels of glucose in the morning can make us feel hungry later, which puts us in place for the collection of vegetables, or eat too big portions of food for lunch and dinner.

When we eat breakfast, your body feels nourished and satisfied, makes us much less likely to eat more during the day.


# The most common reasons for missing breakfast

The most common reasons that people skip breakfast includes:

    * No time

    * Prefer to exercise in the morning instead

    * Not feeling hungry in the morning

    * Do not stomach food first thing in the morning

This is what you can do if you lose one of these cases regularly breakfast:

"No time" is not an excuse

Time is a luxury for most of us. However, it is better to take time for what is undoubtedly the most important meal of weight loss per day.

If time is a real problem for you and only a few minutes for breakfast in the morning, try this:

    Eat something that has no time to prepare, like a glass of fruit juice pre-press, a few pieces of fresh fruit or low fat yogurt. Even last night left jumped a better choice than eating nothing.

    * Prepare your breakfast the night before. Put your cereal box, bowl, spoon bread or condiments on the breakfast bar to be ready to go first thing in the morning.

    * Do two things simultaneously. Try doing something in your routine in the morning and iron a shirt or blouse for example, while the bread in the toaster is Browning. (Try not to do two things at once while eating, eating too quickly and your digestion will be affected. If you have not choice but to eat anyway, but try not to do too often).

    * Be at least something to eat, regardless of their size and take the rest of your breakfast with you. For example, drink a shake for breakfast and take your favorite breakfast cereal to work with you in a plastic container.

    * If you're in a hurry to get somewhere, eat something when you arrive. If you know someone, meet in a cafe or coffee. If you're in a hurry to go to work, leave a packet of breakfast cereal in the kitchen or office in a drawer of his desk.


# Morning exercise is not as effective without breakfast

Most people exercise in the morning for the same reason, they must have breakfast, increase metabolism and burn additional calories.

If you train in the morning on an empty stomach, your metabolism would not match if you eat something before hand.

Do not exercise with full stomach? Ideally, they should not work until one or two hours after breakfast (or any other meal), but if you like exercising in the morning or the only time you have a glass of fruit or berries will advance the metabolism the spark needed to maximize the number of calories burned during exercise.

Remember, you must not eat a whole meal to get your metabolism going in the morning, but something small like a banana or stewed fruit have skyrocketed.


# Overeating at night

If you're not hungry when you wake up, is likely to overeat the night before.

Okay eat at night if you eat something light with not too much sugar, which may affect your ability to sleep.

Good night snack choices include:

    * A cup of whole grains or

    * An apple

    * Cheese-skimmed

    * A small turkey and lettuce sandwich

    * A small tub of yogurt and fruit

    * A fruit smoothie or frozen yogurt ball

    * A cup of hot milk or hot chocolate


# Find something you

If you can not stomach breakfast regularly, you can find something in the stomach or breakfast until you get a shower and ready for the day.

Breakfast is so important (especially when trying to lose weight), is well worth the time and effort to find alternative breakfast to find something you can eat. Here are some options:

    * Milk , cereals, yoghurts and cereals or

    * Instant oatmeal topped with raisins

    * Whole Wheat Bagel with fruit and yogurt

    * Peanut butter on whole wheat bread

    * Fruit smoothie with yogurt

    * Fruit salad, orange juice, strawberries, pears and pineapple

    * Cheese and crackers integrals

    * Drink commercially breakfast or Muesli  bar


Remember, when it comes to breakfast and your metabolism is more important to "eat" that "what we eat."

Once you have the habit of having breakfast regularly, then try weaning of healthy choices.
