Breakfast Myth : Skip If You Want
The one diet rule we've heard from many places: A healthy diet begins with a king size breakfast. There's just one problem: A good breakfast doesn’t guarantee an overall healthy diet. In fact, according to a survey conducted, nearly 90% of Americans eat their breakfast, and yet nearly 50% of Americans are either overweight or obese.
You don’t need to eat immediately (or even within one hour) after you wake up. Your metabolism won’t be affected.
No one meal is more important than any other. What matters most is total calorie intake, food selection (think salad versus cheesy pizza), and then how much time you spend eating each day. If you don’t love breakfast, skip it. If you love it, enjoy your morning meal but keep a watch on your calories to make sure you’re not eating more calories than you need.
