Well, yes and no. It’s good to eat breakfast but there is little evidence for the claim that you need a good breakfast to get your metabolism going or that people who eat breakfast are slimmer and healthier.
One recent study took 300 overweight volunteers and asked those who always ate breakfast to try skipping it. Those who never ate breakfast were asked to eat something every morning. At the end of four months, they weighed both sets of volunteers.
People who had never before eaten breakfast but had now started had lost 0.76kg over four months. But regular breakfast eaters who had now begun skipping it had also lost 0.71kg.
The researchers concluded that whether or not you eat breakfast makes no difference to your weight.
