According to a study published earlier this year in the Nutrition Journal , people eat the same thing for lunch and eat the same amount for dinner regardless of whether they have had a normal or a large breakfast (400 kilocalories above normal). This implies that, in the bottom line, many more calories are consumed throughout the day, belying the popular idea that after a large breakfast, caloric intake is reduced.
What does help you lose weight is choosing certain foods to start the day. Daniela Jakubowicz, from the Hospital de Clinicas, in Caracas (Venezuela), has shown that in a weight loss diet it is convenient to include abundant carbohydrates (bread, cereals …) and proteins (eggs, meat, tuna …) at breakfast. ).
On the contrary, skipping breakfast reduces attention, memory and learning capacity in the morning, in addition to the fact that without breakfast we tend to consume a less balanced diet during the rest of the day, with more fats and sugars, which predisposes to obesity .
