Answer to Question 1

Whole foods have not been previously processed or broken down, thus they require more breakdown by the digestive system, which can keep you feeling full longer and prevent blood sugar spikes. Whole foods typically contain more fiber than processed foods, which help you feel full longer, and may increase intake of vitamins and nutrients. When cooking whole foods, you are in control of the fat, salt, and other ingredients that are added. Whole foods are more likely to have naturally pleasing flavors, while processed foods can have exaggerated flavors that dull the palate.

Answer to Question 2

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping breakfast makes you hungrier later in the day and leads to overconsumption and greater caloric intake throughout the rest of the day. Regular breakfast eaters have less of a weight problem, lose weight more effectively, and have less difficulty maintaining lost weight.
