Is it true that eating a big breakfast is the secret to losing weight? You might think so after reading headlines about a study that women lost more weight when they ate their biggest meal of the day in the morning.
But as the team from NHS Behind the Headlines points out, the study focused on a specific group of overweight women—those with metabolic syndrome, which increases the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The findings might not apply to other people. Also, the breakfast included foods such as tuna and whole-wheat bread, not bacon and eggs. The NHS analysis includes more information about the study and a link to the article.
If you need motivation to stick to your diet, catch up on some evidence-based information from PubMed Health about the benefits of losing weight.
