Skipping breakfast makes you GAIN weight

It may seem illogical that skipping breakfast can cause you to gain weight but according to Dr. Wayne Callaway, obesity specialist at George Washington University, skipping breakfast can not only trigger overeating later in the day but can also cause a drop in metabolism. It was found in research that people who do skip breakfast, like sumo wrestlers have a five-percent lower metabolism than those who don't skip breakfast.

The goal of many breakfast skippers is to save on calories. However, calories consumed early in the day are least likely to put on pounds, and skipping any meal simply increases the temptation to eat a high calorie snack or overeat at the next meal.

Studies have also shown that people who skipped breakfast performed the worst in memory tests and had the highest levels of fatigue at noon compared to those who did eat breakfast.

THE BOTTOM LINE is skipping breakfast can lead to a drop in your metabolic rate which will lead to weight gain and it can also lead to drops in mental performance.
