A recently released article in the New York Times, quoting numerous academic authorities across the country, weighed the pros and cons of eating breakfast.
It was universally agreed upon that breakfast for children is crucial. Experts were mixed on the importance of breakfast for adults. For the experts who believe that breakfast is not important for asults, we think it is ridiculous.
Without protein every 5-6 waking hours, we see impaired glucose, lower levels of concentration, and breakdown of muscle (protein) for fuel. Eating the wrong fuel, however (typical breakfast fare of fruit juice, sugar cereals/bars/rolls) is worse than no breakfast because it causes a peak, then drop in insulin levels.
In short, eat a balaced breakfast!
