Dear MIRIAM: CLASSIC CEREAL.Byline: Dr MIRIAM STOPPARD Dear Miriam I CAN'T get my daughter to eat breakfast because she says it's one less meal and she's cutting calories to keep her weight down. I say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and can help keep her weight steady. Who's right? YOU are. People who miss breakfast are more likely to put on weight. A study in Holland examining differences in lifestyle and weight trends in more than 35,000 Dutch adolescents showed those who skipped breakfast were more than twice as likely to be overweight Overweight Refers to an investment position that is larger than the generally accepted benchmark. Notes: For example, if a company normally holds a portfolio whose weighting of cash is 10%, and then increases cash holdings to 15%, the portfolio would have an overweight . In fact, they found the most important risk factor for being overweight and obese was skipping breakfast. Another study of 6,000 men by Harvard Medical School Harvard Medical School (HMS) is one of the graduate schools of Harvard University. It is a prestigious American medical school located in the Longwood Medical Area of the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. found those who ate breakfast lowered the risk of putting on weight by a quarter. The reason for this is that, if you skip an early morning meal, your body thinks it's going to starve starve v. 1. To suffer or die from extreme or prolonged lack of food. 2. To deprive of food so as to cause suffering or death. , so it goes into fat-storing mode. |
