Breakfast – What makes it the most important meal of the day?

I can bet that every nutritionist you’ve ever come across has informed you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and it has to be very fulfilling! Whether you get the time to take proper diet all day or not, it's important to give the necessary time to your breakfast. I didn’t use to take it very seriously during my school and college life. I used to skip breakfast and that would often make we feel dizzy in school while standing for assembly. Sometimes I’d even start sweating for no reason! This routine continued even during the first three years of my university! My morning sickness only increased with time and it was during my sixth semester that I decided to take care of myself and try changing my routine.

I am not exaggerating, but as soon as I started taking breakfast regularly, it turned my life upside down, in a good way of course. Not only did I start feeling fresh in the morning, but it also affected my creativity and productivity. I started feeling much more present-minded and productive throughout the day! This gave me so much motivation that I made it a habit to take some time out in the morning and take my time in having my breakfast instead of running off with a sandwich in my hand!

I started reading up why breakfast is so important and how it really affects us and our lifestyle. All the information that I managed to gather via different nutritionists is very interesting and worth sharing! So here you go!

You can actually end up losing extra weight!

You can actually maintain and at times even lose weight by having regular breakfast in the morning. If your breakfast contains the required amount of proteins that are found in egg then this meal keeps you going all day and makes you want to take little portions of lunch and especially dinner. This way, you won't end up eating randomly throughout the day. It also helps you avoid unhealthy junk snack items all day. If you start noticing around you, you will find that healthy and fit person who also doesn’t seem to be fat always take a good amount of protein in their breakfast.

Trust me, being a morning person only requires one to have a good breakfast!
