Is High-Protein Breakfast the Secret for Health and Weight Loss?
Breakfast is the essential meal of the day, which breaks the usual fast most of us follow (from night until the morning). But, skipping breakfast has become a common thing, either it is due to a busy lifestyle or even choices such as intermittent fasting. However, there is no strong evidence which can say that skipping breakfast can directly or immediately cut weight or burn fat.
On the other hand, it can increase hunger hormones, fatigue, and other short-term and long-term health diseases. For those who are looking for weight-loss, building muscle, or even improving health, protein-packed breakfast can be the best option.
