A big breakfast may help with weight loss

A new study suggests that a big breakfast with carbohydrates and lean protein may aid obese women in losing weight. The clinical trial studied women who ate a big breakfast with carbs and women who ate a low-carb breakfast. In an eight month period, women who ate a big breakfast lost 40 pounds. The low-carb women lost nine pounds. Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University conducted the study.

Some are calling for more research but many nutritionists agree that a good breakfast help with weight loss. The earlier you get your calories the sooner your body can use them up efficiently. This also aids in feeding your metabolism which can slow down when not fed enough or later in the day on a consistent basis. So if losing weight is on your list of New Year’s resolutions, commit to eating a good breakfast. It may put you on the right path towards a slimmer, healthier you.
