Skipping Breakfast May Raise Diabetes Risk

Overweight women who ate morning meal had lower blood sugar, better insulin response in small study

By Kathleen Doheny

HealthDay Reporter

SUNDAY, June 16 (HealthDay News) -- Eating breakfast every day may help overweight women reduce their risk of diabetes, a small new study suggests.

When women skipped the morning meal, they experienced insulin resistance, a condition in which a person requires more insulin to bring their blood sugar into a normal range, explained lead researcher Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, an instructor of medicine at the University of Colorado.

This insulin resistance was short-term in the study, but when the condition is chronic, it is a risk factor for diabetes, Thomas said. She is due to present her findings this weekend at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco.

"Eating a healthy breakfast is probably beneficial," Thomas said. "It may not only help you control your weight but avoid diabetes."

Diabetes has been diagnosed in more than 18 million Americans, according to the American Diabetes Association. Most have type 2 diabetes, in which the body does not make enough insulin or does not use it effectively.

Excess weight is a risk factor for diabetes.

The new study included only nine women. Their average age was 29, and all were overweight or obese.

Thomas measured their levels of insulin and blood sugar on two different days after the women ate lunch. On one day, they had eaten breakfast; on the other day, they had skipped it.

Glucose levels normally rise after eating a meal, and that in turn triggers insulin production, which helps the cells take in the glucose and convert it to energy.

However, the women's insulin and glucose levels after lunch were much higher on the day they skipped breakfast than on the day they ate it.

On the day they did not eat breakfast, Thomas explained, "they required a higher level of insulin to handle the same meal."

"There was a 28 percent increase in the insulin response and a 12 percent increase in the glucose response after skipping breakfast," she said. That's a mild rise in glucose and a moderate rise in insulin, she noted.

Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

"Their study doesn't prove causation," said Dr. Joel Zonszein, a professor of clinical medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and director of the Clinical Diabetes Center at Montefiore Medical Center, in New York City.

The study found only a link or association between breakfast skipping and higher insulin levels. More research is needed for confirmation, another expert said.

"This is a small, but very interesting, study," said Dr. Ping Wang, director of the University of California, Irvine, Health Diabetes Center. "The findings will have to be verified with larger studies."

Whether the effect is short-term or long-term is not known, Wang said.

Zonszein recommends against either skipping meals or eating very frequent meals, the so-called nibbling diet. "Studies done in Europe have shown that a large meal in the middle of the day is better than a large meal at dinner," he said.

However, he acknowledged that pattern is more of a habit in Europe than in the United States. Even so, he advises his patients to eat a good breakfast, a good lunch and a lighter dinner.

Other ways to reduce diabetes risk, according to the American Diabetes Association, are to control weight, blood pressure and cholesterol and to be physically active.

Cake for breakfast

2 tbsp oatmeal, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 6 tbsp egg whites, 1/2 scoop protein powder ( vanilla or chocolate ), Dash of vanilla extract, Almond butter or peanut butter ( optional )

Mix everything and pour into a small greased microwave safe bowl. It all depends on how strong your microwave is, my cake only took 1:15, I made it again at someone else's house and it took 2:30. So you're going to have to watch it. You'll know when its done when it's not watery obviously.

1 cake without almond butter: 167 calories, 24 grams of protein, 4 sugars, 16 carbs, 2 grams fat, 3 grams fiber

1 cake with almond butter: 357 calories, 32 grams protein, 19 grams fat, 22 carbs, 6 sugars, 6 fiber

John tesh radio show- new study's show skipping breakfast is good for you

You know how, for years, people have preached that breakfast is the key to living healthier and losing weight? Yeah. John Tesh on 102.3 just said, this morning, that studies are showing that people who skip breakfast consume way less calories in the day. And that people who eat breakfast are more likely to be obese than people who skip breakfast.

I am about to stab something. Seriously! New studies always contradict each other. The only information that you can trust is that which you know from personal experience.

Breakfast is key for your child. It refuels them, giving them energy for the day.

Weight control may also be easier for breakfast eaters, both as children and later, when they're adults.

Mornings are busy in most families, but you can still make breakfast happen.

17 Simple, Healthy Breakfasts

Breakfast, or any meal, doesn’t need to be elaborate to be satisfying and nutritious. A bowl of whole-grain cereal with milk and topped with fruit is a fine choice.

No healthy food is off-limits for the morning meal, even if you don't think of it as a traditional "breakfast food."

It only takes a few minutes to make these breakfasts:

Frozen whole-grain waffle sandwich with sunflower seed butter, peanut butter, or almond butter, California raisins, and low-fat yogurt Ice cream cone parfait: Layer low-fat lemon or vanilla yogurt with sliced fresh or previously frozen mango and crunchy whole-grain cereal. Hot cocoa (made with milk) or chocolate milk, slice of whole grain toast, fruit Breakfast berry parfait: Layer low-fat cottage cheese with whole grain cereal and fresh or frozen berries. Hard-cooked egg (make 6 or so on the weekend), fruit, and ½ whole-wheat English muffin with tub margarine Banana smoothie: Blend 1 cup low-fat milk with a medium banana and teaspoon vanilla extract in blender or food processor. Serve with half a whole-wheat English muffin. Slice of pizza, and orange juice with calcium and vitamin D Turkey or roast beef roll-up with cheese on a whole-wheat wrap Whole-grain crackers, string cheese, and dried figs Half of a sandwich, milk, and fruit Sliced cheddar cheese melted on top of whole-wheat tortilla, and low-sodium vegetable juice Whole-wheat graham crackers, hard-cooked egg, small banana Trail mix: whole-grain cereal, shelled pistachios or sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and low-fat milk Mini pizza: Layer a small whole-wheat pita round with marinara sauce and grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Toast or broil. Whole-wheat bagel (mini for younger kids) spread with sunflower seed butter, almond butter, or peanut butter and drizzled with honey; orange juice with calcium and vitamin D Plain low-fat yogurt topped with chopped walnuts, California raisins, and molasses or honey Microwave plain, 1-minute, or instant oatmeal with low-fat milk. Top with 1/4 cup dried fruit and 2 tablespoons chopped almonds.

Choose Well

Keep convenience foods to a minimum because they are often loaded with added fat, sodium, and sugar.

"A little sweetness is a great way to work in good nutrition," says Sally Kuzemchak, RD, a nutrition consultant in Columbus, Ohio, and creator of the Real Mom Nutrition web site.

But don’t overdo it.

If your kids eat sugary cereals, wean them by mixing in cereals that are lower in sugar. Serve hot cereal, such as plain oatmeal, and add your own sugar or dried fruit to cut down on the sweet stuff, too.

Serve the most nutrient-rich foods possible, such as whole-grain breads and cereals; orange juice with added calcium and vitamin D; fortified eggs; and by preparing hot cereal with milk instead of water.
