Eat Breakfast to Lose Weight

There have been some interesting studies lately that have indicated that people who eat a hearty breakfast actually lose more weight and keep it off than people who eat fewer calories for breakfast or skip breakfast. Eating half your daily allotment of calories in a good breakfast consisting of a protein, fruit, and complex carbohydrate, and then eating the remainder of your allotment for lunch and dinner resulted in weight loss that was not regained. This was evidenced in a study conducted by Venezuelan and U.S. researchers who put women on diets where some ate the 610+ calorie breakfasts and some did not. They found that both groups of women lost approximately the same amount of pounds. However, in the four months following the weight loss, those who were eating the larger breakfasts actually were not only able to keep the weight off, but actually lost more weight, while the small-breakfast group gained most of the weight back.
