Frank Yan of Sacramento says if you want feel full while keeping your weight down, we should eat your biggest meal of the day during breakfast. Eating more calories in the early part of our day morning can increase weight loss.

If your the one that nibbles at breakfast or run out the door without eating anything at all, then eat a hearty sized lunch, and then stuff yourself at dinner. Does this sound about right or familiar? You are at all alone. It is, after all, the way the majority of us were brought up to eat.

As kids we were taught to clean our plates after we ate a meal. However Frank Yan suggests that the way to feel full through out our days, and even lose the weight we want, is to consume your biggest meal in the morning, then progressively less through out the entire day.

Frank Yan read an article while sipping at his local Starbucks in Sacramento researchers test this theory and placed 2 groups of dieters on the same 1,500 calorie meal plan for 12 weeks. One group ate 800 calories at breakfast, 600 at lunch, and 300 at dinner. The second group’s calories were distributed in exactly the opposite way 300 calories at breakfast and 800 for dinner. Those in the big-breakfast group ended up shedding 18 pounds, while those in the big-dinner group lost only 8 pounds. The big breakfast group displayed significantly lower levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides through out the entire day, which means a lower risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and elevated LDL cholesterol levels.
