The Role of Breakfast in Losing Weight

I have to admit that I hate breakfast. I do not like the cereals that are put in front of me and hate the fatty foods that make a full English breakfast. However the people who understand the workings of the body have repeatedly told us that the first meal of the day is crucial to a good day’s work and can help to reduce the weight. For some this might not make sense because the breakfast will be in effect adding to the calorie count for that day. For those who are skipping breakfast, it would represent a reduction in the amount of calories that they are consuming for that day. However the breakfast meal works in particular ways that are import for the weight loss programs.

When one takes breakfast on a regular basis they ensure that they have the energy to go out and do other physical activities such as running or walking. Without breakfast, the person will be prone to bouts of lethargy and may decide not to go out for a walk or get involved in physical exercise. Thus the pounds will start to pile on and it can be concluded with some reason that the absence of breakfast has hindered the weight loss program for that person. From a practical point of view the person who has missed breakfast will be sleepy at work and will not be able to execute the tasks that the boss has set for them. This can lead to the loss of a job and a very bad social life.

People who are overweight tend to be under nourished. This is a paradox because one might assume that overeating equals nourishment. The body needs specific nutrients to function and that is why we emphasize the balanced diet as a means of ensuring the continued growth and development of the human body. However if an individual continuously skips breakfast, they are opening themselves up to the problems of not having a good diet and they might end up not taking part in their normal daily routine. This will eventually result in health problems and a general deterioration in the quality of life for the person concerned.

In conclusion I would argue that breakfast is one of the most important parts of the day and should not be skipped without good reason. It does not have to be a very extravagant meal that removes all responsibility from the person but it has to be nutritious enough to satisfy their body needs and to ensure that they have a healthy lifestyle.
