Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.( )54 During the test, the people were given _.A. no breakfast at allB. different foods or nothingC. very rich breakfastD. little food for breakfast( )55.
