Importance of Breakfast

Whether you are trying to lose weight or gain weight breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Here's why:

I'm trying to lose weight - Your goal should be to increase your metabolism, you do this by eating often (along with healthy). So skipping breakfast means you could potentially go about 12 hours or more (depending on when your last meal before bedtime was) without eating. The body literally goes into lockdown mode and starts holding on to all calories in order to survive, usually storing it as fat.

I'm trying to gain weight - Your goal should be to increase your overall caloric intake. This is difficult to accomplish when you skip breakfast. Caloric intake aside, you also want to eat often in order to ensure the weight you gain is primarily muscle and not fat.

If you are interested in more details on how your breakfast and your overall diet can impact your goals send me an email. I'll be glad to break it down for you.
