You do not potolsteet if you do not eat breakfast, it is a myth

Do not want to - do not eat breakfast, this did not zavisit



People often say that the breakfast - the most important meal of the day because it helps not to overeat, and consequently do not gain extra weight, but recent studies of human metabolism showed that the allegations were unfounded.

According to an article published in «The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition», the myth of the breakfast appeared because of inaccuracies and misinterpretation of the results of medical experiments that were carried out earlier. Scientists say that the lack of breakfast, no effect on weight gain or little effect, in addition, statistics show that people who skip breakfast consume an average of fewer calories per day than eat breakfast.



Publicist Anahad O'Connor wrote in the «New York Times», which, according to the head of the experiment, Dr. David Ellison, head of the Research Center for Nutrition and Obesity at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, there is no direct causal link between the habit of eating breakfast and a set of spare, kilograms. Allison and his colleagues found the data on long-term study of the effect of diet on the weight of the person, published in 1992.

To participate in the experiments, the scientists selected 52 women with an average degree of obesity and divided them into two groups: those who are accustomed to breakfast, and waive morning meal. Then they forced each group follow exactly the opposite conditions - first left without breakfast, and they lost an average of 7, 7 kg per person, and the latter has made in the morning, while they lost weight about 9 kg each.



Both diets included the same number of calories, and researchers have suggested that you can lose or gain extra weight, changing meal times. According to Ellison and his staff, many subsequently misinterpreted the results of the experiment, suggesting that the failure of food contributes to overeating during the day in the morning - it was the cause of the common misconceptions about the direct link between skipping breakfast and obesity.
