I strongly believe that any weight-loss plan that suggest skipping breakfast is misleading. Its simple. To lose few pounds, you can't starve and then gobble down more calories than your body ever needed. That's what may happen when we skip breakfast or any other meal for that matter.
Why Breakfast Is Important Meal?
- Breakfast helps you curb fake hunger pangs.
- A day that begins with a healthy meal keeps your mind relaxed and refreshed (Honestly, you would perform better if you are not thinking about food just because you left without breakfast).
- Small meals every few hours keep body's metabolism better than eating after many hours.
- It helps your glucose level controlled.[1]
- Because my Dad used to say that if you would leave home without breakfast, you might not be able to eat at all for the rest of the day. That really happened with me and I took his advice. For more than 3 decades, never a day without breakfast and I am healthy and fit.
I am no expert when it comes to losing body weight. Yet I could easily lose weight by
- Planning and eating my meals around the same time frame of the day.
- Homemade cooked meals with a cheat day per week
- Mindful eating by including variety of fresh fruits, veggies and proteins.
- Dinner around 7:30 pm
- Desi Ghee in my diet
- No Refined oils.
- I had usual parathas, Ghee dosa, Uttapam twice a week and poori, halwas every fortnightly.
- Increased salad intake and curd in meals.
- Realized that my water intake was low and managed that to avoid fake hunger pangs.
