Take it off & keep it off – the secret to weight-loss success

Print on Demand

People who have successfully lost at least 60 pounds and kept it off for 6 years probably share at least one lifestyle choice—they eat cereal for breakfast. Researchers who monitor the 3,000 participants in the National Weight Control Registry discovered that nearly 80% of them eat breakfast every day as part of their routine to maintain proper weight. Of those who eat breakfast, 60% say they always or usually eat a bowl of cereal.

 

What’s so special about cereal? The researchers suggest that regular breakfast eating may be an essential behavior for weight loss maintenance for these reasons:

•  Eating breakfast may reduce hunger later in the day that leads to overeating.

•  Breakfast eaters are able to better resist fatty and high-calorie foods throughout the day.

•  Nutrients consumed at breakfast may give people a better ability to be more physically active.
