Does eating breakfast helps you lose weight?

If you think skipping meals would help you lose weight, FAT hope! People who takes breakfast would lose weight even FASTER then people who skips breakfast.

The key to successful weight loss is to burn more calories than we consume. Activities like sports and exercise can help burn calories, but the body’s metabolic rate(BMR) is also an important factor which determines the rate at which calories are burnt. Metabolic rates are at its peak during the day when we are active and on the go. At night time, the body is in a state of rest and the metabolic rate slows down.

The first meal of the day, breakfast, is essential to get your metabolism going. If you skip breakfast, your blood sugar levels will stay low. This in turn causes a feeling of lethargy. People who skip breakfast tend to be slow and dull when compared to those who eat this very important meal.
If you skip breakfast, chances are you will binge when you have lunch or dinner. Instead of losing weight you will find yourself gaining, this theory comes from a campfire, imagine small meals are small pieces of logs and big meals are big pieces of log and the fire indicates the rate of calories you are burning. When you feed the campfire big piece of log at a time, it takes time for the fire to burn, but if you constantly feed it with small pieces of log, the fire will burn wildly.

Not just skipping breakfast, eating the right kind of breakfast is also important. After 8 hours of sleep, your body has finish using up all the nutrients in your body and once you wake up, your body is starving, then whatever you feed yourself with, your body will just absorb. Like those yummy local breakfast like Roti Prata, Fried Bee Hoon, Nasi Lemak, Bread? All those high in calories and low nutrition breakfast.


Now that you know the importance of eating breakfast, make it a point to eat a little something when you start your day. A simple and healthy breakfast can be prepared in no time.

The yellow portion indicates that the body have too much sugar, it will be converted and store as body fats.


The red portion indicates that your body is going through a state of hunger, when your tummy starts to rumble and after whatever your eat, it will be store straight to your organs, these fats are called visceral fats (hidden fat).
Body fats are fats that are under your skin, they make you look disgustingly fat and "un-sexy". Visceral fats are the dangerously hidden fats, fats surrounding your heart and your internal organs. Imagine if you have alarming layers of fat covering your heart, will you have a heart attack anytime? Layers of fats in your blood vessels, blood cannot flow though, causing high blood pressure, blood vessels will be blocked anytime. So much fats that it went into your brain pressing on some nerves thus stroke might occur anytime. Scary enough?
