NY Timesからです。私は他にもいくつもの、朝食と体重の関係についてのデータを持っているのでかなり興味シンシンです。これ、本当なんですよ。
３食の中で朝食が一番大事な食事、というのはかなり納得します。みなさんこうして頭で分かっていることでしょうが、とりあえず１週間実践してもらうと、みなさんが「おお！」と驚いてくれます。しかも、出かける１時間前の朝食、というのがすごいキキメです。統計処理したわけじゃないですけど、私の経験から、まず女性の便秘、生理不順、冷え性、頭痛、などがわりとすごい勢いで解消されますので真剣に悩んでいる方は、毎日、朝食を出かける時間の１時間前に食べるということをとりあえず１週間やってみることをおすすめします。
そして体重の減少。まじめなはなし、私自身もいつも驚いていましたが、朝食を毎日決まった時間に食べるようになった人で体重が急にストーンと落ちた、という話を、本当に本当によく聞きます。ウソだと思っても、騙されたと思ってためしてみてくださいね。で、体重減少しなかったら、騙された〜！と思って許してくださいな。ってすっごいいい加減でごめんなさい。

Prevention: Avoiding Obesity, With Breakfast
By JOHN O’NEIL
Young adults who said they ate breakfast every day were almost half as likely to be obese as those who ate breakfast twice a week or less, a study presented last week at an American Heart Association conference in Miami found.
Those who ate breakfast were also less likely, at the same rate, to suffer from insulin resistance syndrome, often a precursor to diabetes.
The study drew on data collected from about 2,800 people ages 25 to 37. The sample was almost evenly divided between white and black Americans; whites were more than twice as likely as blacks to say they ate breakfast regularly.
The study’s lead researcher, Dr. Mark A. Pereira of Children’s Hospital in Boston, said the benefits were highest among people who ate whole grain cereal, as opposed to refined cereal, and that eggs and bacon increased risks.
For reasons that were not clear, black women did not appear to get the same protective benefits from regular breakfasts, he said.
Dr. Pereira said the findings gave credence to the saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
