Many crushes who are losing weight have more or less heard the saying that skipping breakfast is easy to gain weight, so does skipping breakfast really make you gain weight?
It has been mentioned in many articles about weight loss: skipping breakfast will increase weight. These articles believe that if you skip breakfast in the morning, your hunger will continue to increase, and you will eat more at noon, so that you will eat less calories from breakfast. Full back. This statement may seem reasonable at first, but we also know that a person’s appetite is limited, and even in a hungry state, it is not so obvious whether to eat an extra breakfast for lunch. It is precisely because of this that the University of Columbus in the United States conducted an experiment to prove that skipping breakfast can lead to excess weight.
The experiment lasted for four weeks. The subjects were divided into three groups. At 8:30 every morning, one group ate oatmeal, the other group ate sugary cornflakes, and the last group did not eat breakfast. After four weeks, of the three groups, only the group that skipped breakfast lost weight. According to the researchers, experiments have shown that skipping breakfast can lead to better weight loss.
And a Vanderbilt University experiment also yielded unexpected results. The experiment found no direct relationship between eating breakfast and body weight through a 12-week comparative experiment. The experiment found the subjects who ate breakfast and did not eat breakfast, some of them changed their habits, that is, some changed from eating breakfast to skipping breakfast, and skipping breakfast to eating breakfast.
At the end of the 12-week trial, it was found that the subjects who ate breakfast but started skipping breakfast lost 9.1 kg in weight than those who still ate breakfast. Kilogram.
That said, whether you eat breakfast or not, changing your eating habits can help you lose weight. We often find subjectively that people who stick to breakfast are always healthier, more energetic, and in better shape than people who don’t eat breakfast. The researchers suggest that it may simply be because people with good lifestyles place more emphasis on eating regularly, maintaining physical activity, etc., and they are healthy because of their overall lifestyle habits, not just sticking to breakfast.
The editor believes that the change in weight is only related to the relationship between total energy intake and expenditure. It is feasible to eat less and more meals, but eating more and less meals may not necessarily lead to weight gain. At the same time, it also reminds everyone that there is no necessary relationship between weight and health, and do not pay too much attention to the indicator of weight.
