Really, No Benefits of Breakfast in Weight Loss Program
Despite long-held beliefs and widespread medical recommendations, breakfast does not appear to have an important role in weight loss after all, with a new meta-analysis showing no evidence that eating breakfast reduces daily caloric intake and weight gain is no worse among those who skip the meal.
“While breakfast has been advocated as the most important meal of the day in the media since 1917, there is a paucity of evidence to support breakfast consumption as a strategy to achieve weight loss, including in adults with overweight or obesity,” the authors conclude.
“This systematic review of randomized controlled trials examining weight change in adults consuming or skipping breakfast found no evidence to support the notion that breakfast consumption promotes weight loss or that skipping breakfast leads to weight gain,” they add.
In their meta-analysis, Katherine Sievert and colleagues with the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, evaluated data from 13 randomized controlled trials, including seven that examined the effect of eating breakfast on weight change (n = 486) and 10 that examined the effect on energy intake (n = 930).
The study was published today in BMJ.

Dr. Lane’s note: I have been telling people this for many years!!
I personally do not eat a “breakfast” by American standards. I have a Nutribullet of ground fruit and vegetables juice and coffee. That is it – nothing else! I have been able to mantain my weight nicely this way.
There are almost no traditional foods that Americans eat for breakfast that contribute to weight loss or allow for weight maintenance.
