A Good Breakfast May Be Ineffective in Losing Weight

Scientists examining the size of breakfast and its effect on dinner have reached a conclusion contrary to what is known so far. It turns out that having a healthy breakfast may not help weight loss as much as it was thought.

Especially when people looking to lose weight look at how they should plan their diet, they come across the knowledge that meal timing and size can make a big difference. The most recommended thing in meal planning and timing is to have a hearty breakfast in large portions in the morning to avoid consuming more food during the day.

So, does having a ‘solid’ breakfast really make us eat less for the rest of the day? Scientists from the University of Aberdeen and Surrey studied the relationship between the size of breakfast and how it affects hunger at dinner. A four-week study with overweight and healthy volunteers produced a different result.

There is no difference between eating more in the morning and less in the evening or vice versa:

The scientists fed the participants two different diets. In the first diet, big breakfast and small dinner were applied, while the second diet applied the opposite. Lunch for both groups was fixed. All meals were presented directly to the participants by the scientists, so the calories consumed were always under control.

Based on past research, scientists had predicted that a big breakfast and a small dinner would increase calories burned and weight lost. But the results found no difference in body weight or any measure of biological energy use between the two meal patterns.

There was also no difference in the daily participants’ blood sugar, insulin, or lipid levels. On the other hand, scientists stated that there are some limitations in their research. The most important of these was that the study only took 4 weeks. Although the research offers a result that contradicts previous studies, this area still continues to be in the center of attention of the scientific world. Therefore, the results obtained should not be evaluated with 100% certainty.
