According to a new study, taking a pass on breakfast may lead to weight gain and heart disease down the road. In a published report in the February American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers examined 10 women over the course of two weeks and found that those who didn't eat breakfast developed higher levels of the bad LDL cholesterol and were less sensitive to insulin than those women who at breakfast.

The study also showed that the women who had breakfast consumed roughly 100 fewer calories per day and had a better insulin response to eating, which suggested that their risk of diabetes was lower.
The woman in the study ate a breakfast consisting of a bowl of Bran Flakes with 2% milk and a late morning Kit Kat bar snack for two weeks. Once that period was over, the cereal was then eaten at lunch time for another two weeks as the woman skipped eating in morning completely.
