Weight Gain
When you go for a long period without eating, your body's metabolism slows down. So if you don't eat between dinner and the next day's lunch, your body begins breaking down calories at a slower rate. If you think skipping breakfast eliminates calories, think again. It actually kick starts your metabolism and starts your body burning calories for the day. Starting the day with breakfast also reduces your risk of extreme hunger by lunch, preventing you from gorging yourself. Studies show that people who eat breakfast consume fewer calories in a day.
