It can be tempting to skip breakfast in exchange for a few extra minutes in bed (we understand, beds get ridiculously comfy in the early hours of the morning) but a healthy, nutritious breakfast is one of the essentials for a healthy day. And here are a few reasons why.
1. It will stop you from eating everything in sight later on
Want to lose weight and avoid overeating? Then don’t miss the first meal of the day. “Skipping breakfast can lead to you bingeing later on,” says nutritionist Teresa Boyce. “This is mostly due to excessively low blood sugars. It’s vital to maintain steady blood sugars for portion control and weight loss.” Think of your blood sugar levels as the golden key that regulates your appetite. The lower your blood sugars, the hungrier you get later on and the weaker your resistance to that piece of chocolate cake in the fridge.
