Eating too much causes you to get fat? Who knew?
Every farm boy knows this. Breakfast is the biggest meal of the day.
It’s early some place in the world.
That’s not the takeaway from the article. Eating the same amount, but later in the day, is worse for you than eating the same amount earlier in the day.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.
I think that’s Ben Franklin.
How about just not eating too much? I eat a hot breakfast and dinner every day and sometimes desert later in the evening. Tonight it will be pistachio pudding. I don’t pay too much attention to the time I eat. I regularly (sometimes) eat dinner as late as 9 pm. I weigh a buck forty plus or minus 3 lbs. Been that way for years. About 15 years ago I was fat. I ate a lot more and more often. By the way, now I eat anything I want - fats, carbs, protein, fiber - just not a lot. I stopped listening to the FDA, Ag Dept and all these research studies. While correlation is not causation, there is a relationship between tax dollars spent by government telling you what and what not to eat and obesity. More government = fat Americans.
Nothing like a bowl of ice cream before going to bed.
For progressing diabetes.
I’ve been a 3 meals a day, no snacks. I’m thinking of cutting out lunch. Seems the least important meal of the day
Eat no carbs after 2pm. Late in the day carb consumption goes into fat.
I’ve lost most of my belly fat - after 60 years - using an eating window of Noon-6PM. And high fat / low carb.
“As a clinical nutritionist, I would suggest everybody to have meals early, keep them light and include a lot of fibre in the diet.”
Utter hogwash! You don’t need “fibre” at all. I”m doing fine without breakfast and am slowly drifting toward OMAD. You don’t need three meals a day any more than you need fiber.
With high, low, or moderate protein?
That's a good rule. Most Americans are sedentary office workers, not factory workers burning a lot of calories.
High or medium protein. Protein won’t change a huge amount for most people - about 15% up to maybe 20%. Almost never over 25%. It is the remaining 80% that varies in how it is split between carbs and fat. (”The highest 95th percentile of protein intake was 20.8% of calories in men aged 51-70 y.” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18469286/ )
I’m probably in the upper teens on protein but I don’t count so I don’t know. I just try to restrict carbs, and then only eat carbs in one of my two meals each day.
If I’m at a friend’s or eating out - maybe once a month - then I ignore all the rules.
Hershel Walker eats once a day at night. Soup and salad. Also an elite athlete.
Just sayin.
If you eat late, stay up later...No problem. I find sleep to be a waste of time anyway, and I do as little of it as possible.
I like big breakfasts and moderate suppers, but, then I tend to go reptilian and get sleepy after breakfast.
I don’t want to steal anybody’s thunder but anyone who has had problems with their weight has known this for many, many, many moons. This isn’t new.
