Ulog #18 | Start Your Day with A Healthy Breakfast

We always hear everyone say this.

Eat breakfast like a King
Lunch like a Prince
And dinner like a pauper

It must be true since many studies have been madeand proven that those who make breakfast their largest meal of the day has a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) than people who waited until supper, even when they ate a similar number of calories.

To maintain a healthy weight we've been advised to eat breakfast and lunch, skip supper, avoid snacks, making breakfast the largest meal of the day and fast for up to 18 hours a night.

I've been told numerous times that eating a large breakfast reduces hunger cravings, especially for sweets and fats thus counteracting weight gain.

Regular breakfast consumption seems to increase satiety, reduce total energy intake, improve overall dietary quality, reduce blood lipid and improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance according to research scientist.

I'm not sure how true it is but since I'm no true follower of having a large breakfast I can't say for sure. Today, I have to attend a breakfast meeting so you can imagine just how I felt having to consume anything at 9am in the morning.

To make it worst it was a wide spread of buffet items layed on the counter and all I needed to do was point and food shall be delivered to me. Some luxuries just ain't for me, I guess.
