Eating Breakfast Doesn’t Foster Weight Loss, new study says

Breakfast is often said to be the most important meal of the day. Nutritionists regularly suggest it be eaten each morning for many health benefits, including weight loss and weight maintenance. But new research led by the University of Alabama at Birmingham shows that, when comparing regularly consuming with regularly skipping breakfast, weight loss was not influenced.

According to Medical News Today, the study followed 309 otherwise-healthy overweight and obese adults over a 16-week time period. During that time, some experimental groups were told to skip breakfast and others were told to eat breakfast.

A separate control group was comprised of both breakfast eaters and breakfast skippers, but they were given health nutrition advice without any mention of breakfast.

Overall, the researchers found no significant weight loss between the breakfast skippers and the breakfast eaters, Fox News reported.

They hope their findings will dispel perpetuated myths surrounding weight loss techniques.

The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
