Breakfast is often regarded as the
most important meal of the day. It
is the food that kickstarts the body
after a long period of inactivity and
prepares you for the rest of the
day to come. It is commonly
recommended that we eat breakfast
as part of a healthy lifestyle, but a
new study led by the University of
Alabama at Birmingham aims to
challenge this assertion.
It has been regularly argued that
skipping breakfast leaves an
individual more open to the risk of
snacking unhealthily and eating too
heavily at future meals. In an article
on dieting myths, the British Heart
Foundation (BHF) stated:
"Skipping meals, especially breakfast,
can make you feel tired and hungry
and more likely to reach for high-fat,
high-calorie snacks. In fact, people
who eat breakfast are more likely to
maintain a healthy weight than
those who don't."
Medical News Today have also
previously reported on a study that
found that individuals skipping
breakfast became more susceptible
to the temptations of high-calorie
food, that fasting appears to "bias"
the brain toward seeking out the
unhealthy option.
In addition to studies that advise
against avoiding breakfast, research
has also suggested that it has an
underlying importance when it
comes to weight loss. A study
conducted by Tel Aviv University in
2013 found that eating a large
breakfast and small dinner promoted
weight loss and reduced risks for
diabetes, heart disease and high
cholesterol more effectively than
eating a small breakfast and big
dinner.
Limitations with previous research
Researchers from the University of
Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have
previously been critical of past
studies on the proposed effect of
breakfast on obesity , claiming that
research projects have, at times,
lacked probative value - failing to
contribute any new knowledge to the
area - or contained biased research
reporting, with findings distorted to
support a particular hypothesis.
The overall analysis from that
particular study by UAB indicated
that while there is an association
between breakfast-skipping and
obesity, it has yet to be confirmed
whether there is a causal link
between the two. The new study,
published in the American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition, specifically aimed
to establish whether or not breakfast
recommendations had a direct effect
on weight loss.
