The Importance of Breakfast for Weight Loss‍

You’ve probably heard, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” and may feel confused with all the information circulating on social media claiming that “breakfast is obsolete” and that the key to losing weight is intermittent fasting.
If you ask some experts, they’ll say breakfast isn’t necessary; others will say it’s essential. So, what should you do?

As the name implies, “break-fast” means breaking the fast.
Although many say otherwise, your first meal of the day will always be your breakfast—whether it’s early in the morning around 7 a.m. or closer to noon, like 11 a.m. or 1 p.m.
That’s why intermittent fasting and “breakfast” are not contradictory—you can and should do both.

It’s true that your body has an internal rhythm called the circadian cycle, and having meal times helps. But more important than when you eat is what you eat.

Due to advertising, more than culture, our breakfasts since the last century have been based on refined carbs like cereal with milk, bread with cheese and coffee with milk, toast with orange juice—even options that seem healthier like fruit yogurt and granola.
These types of breakfasts are high in sugar and low in protein. They give energy at first but then lead to a crash, like a rollercoaster.
When you eat a low-protein breakfast, you get hungrier, which leads to a mid-morning snack or coffee—and though it may be hard to believe, this also contributes to those 3–4 p.m. sugar cravings.

In contrast, when your breakfast is based on proteins and healthy fats, your body receives more nutrients for vital functions and a more stable form of energy that doesn’t cause the spikes and crashes that sugar does.

Basic Tips for a Healthy Breakfast That Supports Weight Loss‍

What you eat and in what proportion directly affects your energy levels, mood, and of course, your weight.
The key is: eat enough protein.

Now, to figure out what type of protein works for you, it’s important to understand what suits your body and lifestyle:
These are the people who can’t start their day without eating and grew up hearing things like “don’t leave the house without breakfast.” What they need is a:

‍Complete and balanced breakfast:

A meal as complete as lunch, with plenty of protein, healthy fats, and a source of carbs like whole fruit (not juice) or a starch (sweet potato, quinoa, etc.)
Again, the key is to stop prioritizing starches (bread, cookies, etc.) and start prioritizing protein in all forms.

For those who don’t think much about breakfast
These people might just grab a coffee and a cookie—or whatever’s available at home. What they need are:

‍Practical breakfasts focused on protein:

A full breakfast may not be realistic for them, so the goal is to at least eat some protein: ham rolls, boiled eggs, protein pancakes, goat Greek yogurt, or a protein shake.
Skip the cookie or just fruit—think in terms of easy-to-eat proteins.

For those who don’t care about breakfast or can’t eat earlyvFor these people, the best approach is to:

‍Fast and have a good breakfast-lunch:

Instead of snacking on something small to get by until lunch, they can have bone broth, amino acids, or collagen.
Doing a 16-hour fast followed by a solid meal may be beneficial.

Everyone is different!
What helps one person lose weight may make no difference for another. That’s why it’s crucial to personalize your nutrition based on your body’s needs, your goals, and your lifestyle—so you can achieve lasting results.
