Those who think that skipping breakfast may keep them slim and fit are in for a shock as a study recently said that a bowl of wholegrain cereal as breakfast is the best way to keep the body slim and fit.

Researchers have found that porridge or muesli in breakfast not only helps shed pounds but keeps them off too.

They have found that it stops people turning to fatty and sugary snacks later in the day.

One in five Britons has admitted that he or she skips breakfast, but researchers claim they are simply fooling themselves because the "starv­ation behaviour" makes them more likely to eat biscuits, sweets and cakes during the day.

In fact, people who tuck into cereals packed with wholegrain and fibre in the morning are less likely to binge eat, said the researchers.

Studies have found these cereals protect against many diseases and help maintain the heart and healthy blood sugar levels and body weight.

One study has shown that a bowl of cereal for breakfast could reduce the risk of heart disease by a fifth.

Being low on the glycaemic index, wholegrains help to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, which is linked to obesity.

They also have a major role in keeping people feeling full.

"Those who skip breakfast generally have an overall less healthy diet. This means they eat snacks and tend not to eat enough fruit and veg," the Daily Express quoted Chris Seal, Professor of Food and Human Nutrition at Newcastle University, as saying.
