The biggest question: Is breakfast essential for weight loss?
Some experts say: Yes, you need breakfast. After 7-8 fast, your body needs nutrients to start the day.
Some experts say:No, you don't need one.
I will share my experience here.
When I was younger I never had breakfast, for the pure reason I wasn't educated enough about nutrition. I was following the trend diets and whatever I read on the magazines.
WRONG!!!! I wish I could turn the time back and educate my younger self.
Now, at the age of 36, I am looking forward to eat the meal of the day. Two reasons why breakfast works for me:
- keeps my insulin level stable and I am not going super hungry for lunch time meal.
- helps to control my cravings
The more meals you skip, the more you will have cravings and you will start binge eating.
I like to have a solid protein for breakfast, again keeps my insulin level stable and I am not hungry for the next 3-4 hours.
Back to the question: Is breakfast essential for weight loss?
My answer is: No. Calories you consume are essential. When are you going to eat them, doesn't really matter for weight loss. As long as you are on a calorie deficit.
