Many girls try not to eat anything in the morning.They think it will help them keep slim and lose weight. However, that is not the right way to keep slim and healthy. A new report says that girls should eat breakfast every day if they want to stay slim. Researchers from America’s Maryland Medical Research Institute(马里兰医学研究所) followed the eating habits and weight of nearly 2,400 girls in their teenage. This ten-year period is a time when “girls put on a lot of weight”, according to lead researcher Bruce Barton. The research showed that teenage girls who ate cereal for breakfast three times a week or more were more likely to stay slim.

Another report from the Journal of the American Dietetic Association(美国饮食协会杂志) says that “eating cereal is good for the girls”. This is because cereals have high levels of calcium and fiber and low levels of fat. The researchers say that there are other reasons why eating cereal may help girls stay slimmer. One reason is that other healthy things are usually eaten with cereal, such as milk and juice. Researchers also said that cereals help girls to get the right amounts of nutrients.
