Breakfast is an important meal that helps you get rid of hunger for a long time and avoid unhealthy snacks.

Therefore, you shouldn’t specifically give it up or replace it with just a cup of coffee.

Nutritionist Tatyana Zharovskaya explained in an interview with Sputnik radio why this shouldn’t be done.

As the doctor noted, the morning meal can account for up to 50 percent of the daily diet in terms of caloric content.

If you just drink a cup of coffee and don’t eat, it will lead to health problems.

For example, blood sugar levels may increase, which will give a feeling of satiety, but at the same time, no nutrients will be supplied, which means that the body will be forced to use internal resources.

As a result, reserves are depleted.

In addition, if you constantly replace your morning meal with coffee, this can lead to disruption of protein and fat metabolism.

Your waist will start to get bigger.
