Skipping Breakfast Causes Gain in Body Fat

Skipping breakfast is the worst thing you can do to your metabolism. If you have the bad habit of skipping breakfast, you are giving your body the cue to slow down your metabolism. The effect is cumulative if you continue with such a bad habit over time.

Simply put, when there’s no food in the morning, the body has the tendency to save calories by slowing down your metabolism. Therefore, skipping breakfast trains the body to slow down your metabolism. This causes you to gain body fat.

Even if you are on the run and have no time, have at least a glass of low fat milk. I also find that the Boost milk shakes (for glucose control) are good and it keeps me satiated and it keeps me from wanting to eat or from hunger. Of course, an actual meal of healthy solid food is better than these shakes. However, having a Boost glucose control shake is still better than not eating in the morning. Again, not having anything in the morning is the worst thing you can do.
