Pls let me know :-) I think the actual truth about breakfast is revealed in a comment made by a British Nutrition Foundation spokeswoman who said “This is probably because when we don’t have breakfast we’re more likely to get hungry before lunch and snack on foods that are high in fat and sugar, such as biscuits, doughnuts or pastries.” Basically, unless one has access to healthy food mid-morning or can eat whenever they like, rather than being tied to meal times, it’s probably best to have breakfast early. In terms of the carb-prot-fat ratios mentioned in the study, my feeling is that extremes should be avoided. The focus should be on lifestyle changes and the macronutrients to reduce energy intake — carbs and fat. I agree with you about the deprivation feelings — these are short term if you’re cutting out chocolate say, or bread. But this soon becomes really easy to do. Thanks for your comment, Mike.

For example, the big breakfast research study results proves that having a substantial, nutritious meal at the start of the day helps weight loss, controls appetite, and keeps the pounds off in the longer term.
