We all know the golden rule about breakfast being the “most important meal of the day” for ensuring we have the energy to get through our demanding lives. But did you know that it may also be the missing link for many people who are seeking to lose a few kilos? According to a new Venezuelan study, the bigger the breakfast, the better your weight loss outcomes – even compared with quickie-style, “low carb” diets. 

Women who lost the most weight over an 8-month period were those who ate a big brekkie that included whole grains, complex carbs and lean protein – two eggs on wholemeal toast with tomatoes and a piece of fruit, for example - losing over five times as much fat as women on the low carb diet.  So load up that breakfast plate!
