\"\"<\/a> What about breakfast? There are cultures in the world who don’t insist that their people eat a 3 egg omelet every morning. These are people who are thin and healthy, as well.<\/p>\n

So why is that if, quote, Breakfast is the Most Important Meal of the Day?<\/p>\n

Much of the research showing the impact of breakfast looks its role in school performance in children. For these groups, there is a clear effect on improved academic performance as well as attention (Now See Here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is the difference — between adults and children. Kids tend to have a higher metabolism and could become hypoglycemic through the morning. This is why they often need a fruit snack or nuts or cheese, for example, mid-morning or mid-afternoon.<\/p>\n

By contrast, adults who eat food — not faux foods — are less likely to have hypoglycemia issues at 10:30am and 3:00pm and are, therefore, less likely to need a big breakfast. Keep in mind that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and one must judge your own body’s tendencies based on your own body’s needs.<\/p>\n

Don’t eat because someone told you to. Trust yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
