Lunchtime hunger can be affected by your morning breakfast

A new study published in the journal Pediatrics, indicates that what you eat for breakfast may determine how full you feel, and therefore how much you eat, at lunch. According to the study, foods with low-glycemic indexes (GI) such as whole-grain breakfast cereals, oatmeal, and bran cereal, left subjects feeling full, making them less likely to over eat during lunch. Researchers believe that the glycemic index, a measure of the effect of foods on blood sugars, is the crucial element in this study. Studies have shown that whole grains and other foods with low GI's can help keep blood sugar levels in normal ranges and help people maintain a feeling of fullness.
