The Breakfast myth – Is it ‘healthy’ or does it just make youu fat?
REPLACE “BREAK” FAST WITH “INTERMIITTENT” FAST
There are certain times of the day when Intermittent Fasting (IF) is exactly what your metabolism needs in order to burn maximum fat, and the best time for IF is right after you wake up from your long period of sleep (see footnote 1).
In other words, the best time for IF would be when you normally eat BREAKFAST.
That’s right — Breakfast being “The most important meal of the day” is a myth. It wouldn’t be shocking if that genius “most important” marketing campaign turned out to be a conspiracy by the breakfast food industry, because so many foods like cereal, juice, and bagels that are heavily marketed for breakfast make no sense for that time of day for fat burning. At least you can feel confident betting the breakfast food industry is behind all the studies that tell you how important eating breakfast is to your health and weight loss efforts.
Here’s a very recent New York Times Article that cites a study in support of the “breakfast is harmful to weight loss” view. They conclude you need to get up earlier and exercise to get fat burning benefits. EET prefers to let you sleep in (we think you’re more likely to stay on the “sleep in” plan!), then exercise if you can, but the most important thing is to delay your breakfast!
