Some claim it is the most important meal of the day, while others believe fasting has its benefits. What does the science say?
n some level, it sort of makes sense that breakfast should have a place in the food hierarchy that other meals don’t. The clue’s in the name: you are literally “breaking” your “fast” – taking your body from a state of deprivation to its first significant calorie hit.
Well, first, the relationship between skipping breakfast and weight loss – or gain – is far from clear. An But – get it printed on a T-shirt – correlation is not causation, and all this really means is that the sort of people who tend to skip breakfast are often also the sort who don’t eat that well the rest of the time. It’s not an inevitable relationship – so if you can give the Weetabix a miss but make up for it over the rest of the day, are you in the clear?
