“The real problem is the profusion of messages about obesity. We need to make clear that eating regular meals is vital – and that a proper breakfast is very important. “If you eat well first thing, you’ll feel brighter, you’ll have more get up and go – and that will mean you’ll expend more energy.”
Teenagers are not the only ones who may benefit from sitting down to a proper breakfast. In a study of nearly 7,000 middle-aged people in Norfolk, a team from Cambridge University found that those who ate the most in the morning put on the least amount of weight.

It really makes sense. I don’t understand why people skip breakfast. It really gets your metabolism going and provides that extra boost for the morning..

After 10-12 hours of fasting, it does make sense to take in some food. From my understanding, avoiding food turns the body into a fat storing machine as a survival mechanism. Correct me if I’m wrong..
