Ideal breakfast controls the craving for sweets in the late afternoon

Skipping breakfast is not a good idea . Lack of morning feeding is also linked to that uncontrollable hunger late in the afternoon , where it is practically impossible to resist the temptation to eat sweets .

According to nutritionist Paola Nunes , clinical Super Healthy , the first meal of the day also ensures the replacement of energy lost during sleep . " To that vital functions are maintained while we sleep , the body uses glycogen ( glucose reserves ) , which is stored in the liver . We have a reserve of 12 hours , but when we woke up , the body releases a number of hormones in the body and is necessary to replace this glucose used . Some people who skip breakfast may have hypoglycemia , others already have that absurd hunger late in the afternoon , "he explains . " Then the person has cravings for sweet or white carbohydrates because the body needs quick energy," he warns.

Ideal breakfast

Paola explains that the ideal breakfast food must contain three groups : energy , builders and regulators . In practice, according Brunna Kings , Nutritionist Diets Delivery , turn into a fruit , a full carbohydrate ( bread ) and a lean protein ( low-fat cheeses and low-fat yogurt , skim milk ) .

" Carbohydrates are energy acting on glycemic control . The builders are proteins that are important for the maintenance of lean body mass, muscle, besides being essential for hair and nail . Finally come the regulators , which are the fruits, the important vitamins and minerals , "says Paola .

When it comes to carbohydrates , the ideal is to choose the integrals. " They help in glycemic control , it helps in the prevention and / or control of diabetes , and controlling cholesterol . And the whole bring a greater satiety than refined , it helps to control hunger during the day , "explains Brunna . " They can be breads , crackers or whole cakes ," adds Paola .


Since proteins are composed of milk , cheeses, and yogurts , all with low fat content. " Not worth to be those well greasy yellow cheeses . Already on the market some types of mozzarella with a higher protein content and lower fat content , which can be eaten for breakfast , " explains nutritionist from Super Healthy .

Brunna also emphasizes that fruits are essential for a good breakfast . " The consumption of vitamins and minerals should be varied , always alternating the foods to which the person has enough variety of these nutrients in the diet . The higher turnover of food , more varieties of these vitamins , " he explains.

Paola adds : " Even if you can substitute fruit for juice, but it reduces the amount of fiber . The ideal is to enrich the juice with chia , flax or biomass banana , donating the fiber without changing the taste . The daily recommended amount of fiber is 25-30 grams , but can vary according to the weight of the person , "he explains .
