Big breakfasts help us burn double the calories

Task I

Read this article! ( 5 minutes)

Researchers have revealed what might be a highly popular new way to lose weight - eat a big
breakfast. It could become the biggest diet fad ever for those wishing to shed a few kilos. Scientists in
Germany conducted a study on how a hearty breakfast affected the body's metabolism in a laboratory
experiment. Sixteen men ate a low-calorie breakfast and high-calorie dinner one day, and reversed
this with a high calorie breakfast and low-calorie dinner the next. Eating a larger breakfast and a
smaller dinner boosted a process called diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). This is the generation of
heat in the body that burns up calories. This happened even when the total calories consumed
throughout the day remained the same.

Eating a big breakfast led to 2.5 times higher rates of DIT. Researcher Dr Juliane Richter spoke about
the findings of her investigation. She said: "Our results show a meal eaten for breakfast, regardless of
the amount of calories it contains, creates twice as high DIT as the same meal consumed for dinner.
This finding is significant for all people as it underlines the value of eating enough at breakfast." She
added: "Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent obesity and high blood sugar. We
recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a significant breakfast rather than
a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases."
