When dieting many of us will go to extreme measures to make sure that we lose those extra pounds by summer, our wedding, or any other special occasion that is coming up.
One of the ways that most people will do this is by skipping breakfast.
This is the worst thing you could do for yourself.
Breakfast is and always will be the most important meal of the day.
It is true that lunch and dinner help to provide us with all of the nutrients that we need - but according to research breakfast helps us to establish good eating habits and it can start our metabolism for the day.
As many of us know the metabolism is a major part of how we lose weight.
Even with these healthy facts and knowing how important it is millions of people will still skip it.
More studies show that eating breakfast will help to give you extra strength throughout your day and will give you the energy you need to stay alert and focused when at work or school.
This is because the food that you eat will help to replenish blood glucose levels.
Researchers examined the effects that eating breakfast has on someone's mood during the late morning and their cognitive performance.
During the study forty adults that weighed in as normal and who usually ate breakfast.
The subjects were asked to fast overnight and than come to the lab early the next morning in order to perform baseline tests that would measure its inference, reasoning, and problem-solving.
One-third of the test subjects continued to fast - while the others ate one out of two breakfast meals in which each had 450-500 calories.
These calories are important for people who want to stay healthy and meet their calorie goal for the day.
