1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrupted. Is 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Can 4 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: you think of a more perfect topic for the show? 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: I can't. And you know how I know when I 6 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: have a really good topic, and it's and it's pretty 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: much every show. It's that in doing the research and 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: putting together my notes and my script a loose script. 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: I never read directly from it, don't ever want to 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: do that. But in compiling my notes and putting together 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: the show, I get frustrated because of the misinformation. And 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: this is one of those times. They almost all are 13 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: based on the topic of the show. So first of all, 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: let me just what does that mean? The most important 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: meal of the day? What are we talking about? So 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that and the headlines get my 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: heart rate up. And as I've said on previous shows, 18 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: one of my philosophies of how I go through life 19 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: is as if I am wearing a heart rate monitor 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: and I keep my heart right down. Stresses a choice. 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: And there are two things in life that get my 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: heart rate up. Exercise and these topics and bad information 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: by these topics, I mean bad information, and a lot 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: of the bad information people comes from some pretty reputable 25 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: quote unquote people. We're gonna talk about that. So let's 26 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: just go through some fun facts to get this started. 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: About breakfast. You know, the concept of breakfast didn't even 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: really exist, not the food breakfast food, I should say, 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: until like the mid to late eighteen hundreds. People eight 30 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: food obviously, but it was more a snack or a 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: big meal. Oftentimes it was leftovers from the night before, 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: so it's more like dinner or a snack. And it 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: wasn't until back eighteen sixty three, that's not that long ago. 34 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: A health reformer named James Caleb Jackson used gram flower 35 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: to create what was pretty much the first breakfast cereal. 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: He took grand flour, he mixed it with water, he 37 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: baked it, he broke it up, he baked it again, 38 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: and he called this, not surprisingly granula granula, and it 39 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: was supposed to be mixed with either water or milk. 40 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: Then seventy eight comes along and John Harvey Kellogg, he 41 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: basically took his own version of granula and called it granola. 42 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: But that's not that long ago, and we could go 43 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: back and do a whole discussion about you know, the farming, 44 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: the different types of uh, you know, the way we 45 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: were living, you know, farming, agriculture and now the society 46 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: we live in today and how that has changed what 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: and how we eat UH. And I'll talk about that. 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: And statistics are pretty clear. Only about two thirds of 49 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: adults in the UK eat breakfast regularly, according to the 50 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Association of UK Dietitians, and supposedly around three quarters of 51 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: Americans eat breakfast A and this is really important. I 52 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: don't buy that number. I think that's high. And B 53 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: and this is super important. What is that breakfast consist of? 54 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: So in so many of these studies, I would argue 55 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: they are flawed because of that, because it's self reports 56 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: for the most part, and because the quality of the 57 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: breakfast is not important to the study. And that is 58 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: insane when you are making these pretty incredible statements, including 59 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: this one. I'm gonna start with this because it jumps out. 60 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say it is a really well 61 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: known magazine like Super High. You know it's it's it's 62 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: up there, okay, And the headline is this everything you 63 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: know about breakfast is wrong. That's the headline everything you 64 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: know about breakfast is wrong and let me I'm gonna 65 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: pull the quote and read it verbatim. Breakfast is supposed 66 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: to be the most important meal of the day if 67 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: you do it right, and weight loss advice has always 68 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: encouraged eating breakfast for optimal weight management. However, two new 69 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: studies here's the Kicker show this might not be true. 70 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: Not this is untrue. This is like we've proven, no, 71 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: it might not be true. And one final sentence from 72 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: the researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham discovered 73 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: that skipping breakfast here's the kicker doesn't necessarily help or 74 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: harm weight loss efforts. Are you kidding me? You have 75 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: a headline that says everything you know about breakfast is wrong, 76 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: and then you say, uh, it might not be true 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: and it does necessarily help or harm weight loss efforts. 78 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and here's why I love this 79 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: topic on so many levels, is it's not just about 80 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: weight loss. Holy smokes. If this topic we talk about 81 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: that with exercise, now we're gonna talk about it with nutrition. 82 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: And they're connected, and they're connected in this way in 83 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: this confusing take studies that I would argue, many are biased, 84 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: many are flawed, and I'm giving you about five or 85 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: six on both sides to show you if listen, you 86 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: should be confused about breakfast. But then to wrap up 87 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: the show, I'm gonna give you my three breakfasts that 88 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: are go to for me and take it or leave it, 89 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: but I'll give you you know what I love, and 90 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: then we're gonna talk about all of the reasons why 91 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: it's important other than hellylloa just weight loss, and there 92 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: are so many others. So just like exercise has so 93 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: many benefits other than what you see on a scale, 94 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: guess what eating breakfast does too. All right, So when 95 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: we come back from the break I gotta get to that, 96 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: gonna get to the studies. We're gonna look at them, 97 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: show you the confusion, and we're gonna start from there. 98 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland this is Fitness Disrupted. We will 99 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: be right back. All right, we are back. We're talking 100 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: about breakfast, a topic that just I know, I keep 101 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: saying it because that's what the problem is with nutrition 102 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: and exercise. It's oversimplified, it is made confusing. But I 103 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: would say researchers that just want to go against you, 104 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: they want to be at conoclasts, fitness nutrition, that's how 105 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: you get your name out there. And they start with 106 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: their bias many, not all, but many, and poor research design, 107 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: and then they just confused and it's not okay. It's 108 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: not okay. In my opinion, this is my business helping you, 109 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: helping people be as healthy as possible. And when you 110 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: start with the headline that says everything you know about 111 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: breakfast is wrong, and then many people aren't going to 112 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: read past that. Many people are going to read past that. 113 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: They're scrolling, and it's just it builds up over time, 114 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: the confusion, all right, and within one of these studies, 115 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: gonna keep throwing them out there. So the author of 116 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: one of these studies, the ones that supposedly told you 117 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: that everything you knew about breakfast is wrong, he has 118 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: here's his quote. I'm not gonna name him. Doesn't matter. 119 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: The general question about whether breakfast is the most important 120 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: meal of the day is not grounded in scientific data, 121 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: but more of an old saying, says author of blah 122 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: blah blash study. You gotta be kidding me if that's 123 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: not an oversimplification. First of all, what does he mean 124 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: by what do we mean? By the most important meal 125 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: of the day and not grounded in scientific data. Hey, 126 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: i'm gonna give you a bunch. Okay, I'm gonna give 127 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: you a bunch. I'm gonna give you the uh, the 128 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: supposed the contrary studies. Let's get right into it. Number one. 129 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: The name of the study is the Causal Role of 130 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: Breakfast in Energy Balance and Health, a randomized control trial 131 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: in lean adults. Okay, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 132 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: and this was August of two four. Just gonna jump 133 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: right to the results. Contrary to popular belief, they say 134 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: there was no metabolic adaptation to breakfast. Okay, So what 135 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: does that mean? It didn't boost your metabolism. Now, in 136 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the list of things that I will talk about at 137 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the end of the show, the benefits, that's one that 138 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: many outlets will cite boosted metabolism. I took it out. 139 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it does or if it doesn't. 140 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm gonna put there for now. So 141 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: who cares? Is my point. And then the next one 142 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: is in their results with limited subsequent suppression of appetite limited, 143 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: so it had some suppression of appetite. It helped with 144 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: appetite that's kind of important. And then here's the kicker. 145 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: Physical activity thermogenesis was markedly higher with breakfast then with fasting. 146 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: What does that mean, people? That means that the people 147 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: who ate breakfast, they moved more, pretty much, a heck 148 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: of a lot more, burning four forty two calories more. 149 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's an hour on the elliptical for 150 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: many people, for people who ate breakfast. And here's one 151 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: more thing. And we're kind of getting ahead to the 152 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: benefits of exercise, or I'm sorry of of similar to exercise, 153 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: the benefits of eating breakfast continuously measured. Glaemia was more 154 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: variable during the afternoon and evening with fasting than with breakfast. 155 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: By the final week of the intervention, What does that mean? 156 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: That your blood sugar was going up and down and 157 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: that affects appetite, and that affects over eating. We want 158 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,239 Speaker 1: our blood sugar levels to be as stable as possible 159 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: to avoid those cravings and to avoid overeating. So so 160 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: you can you say that, you know, because it didn't 161 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: change our metabolisms throughout the day, but it did all 162 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: these other great things. That breakfast isn't important. You gotta 163 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: be kidding me again. Breakfast. People who ate breakfast maintained 164 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: more stable afternoon and evening glycemia than fasting and regular 165 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: people who ate regular breakfast daily resulted in significantly higher 166 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: physical activity throughout the day than those who didn't eat. Okay, 167 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: and this study, by the way, it was only six weeks, 168 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: I think, which kind of short. And here's another thing. 169 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: What did they eat? So there was no control that 170 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: I can see over was it a good breakfast or not? Okay, 171 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: So there you go. Second study, and again I'm gonna 172 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: get through these quickly, but it leads to the discussion. 173 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: All right, title eat or Skip Breakfast The important role 174 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: of breakfast quality for health related quality of life, stress 175 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: and depression in Spanish adolescence. And this was the International 176 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 1: Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, August two. Okay, 177 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: here's a really cool thing about this study. They looked 178 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: at five seven Spanish adolescence and for the first time 179 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: they looked at the quality. So I put this one 180 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: number two of the breakfast and they also looked at shockingly, 181 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk about weight here. Uh, the associations 182 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: between eating or skipping breakfast and the quality of that 183 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: breakfast eaten on the quality of life. So they looked 184 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: at the stress levels and depression levels of these kids, 185 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: and shockingly, what do you think happened? Okay? Adolescents who 186 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: ate a good quality breakfast showed better health related quality 187 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: of life scores and lower levels of stress and depression 188 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: than those who ate a poor or very poor quality breakfast. 189 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: So my point in putting this one in is again, 190 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: the most important meal of the date for what. So 191 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: when you say it's it's wrong, and it's not the 192 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 1: most important meal for weight loss or for your brain, 193 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: for how you feel, for your mood state. So these 194 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: overarching headlines that serve to confuse drive me nuts. Okay, 195 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: and let me just read a couple more sentences from 196 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: this study. I love it. The first study that has 197 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: shown the importance of the quality of breakfast rather than 198 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: just whether breakfast is eaten or skipped. My gosh, do 199 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: you think if the people that are eating breakfast within 200 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: these studies are having a bacon, egg and cheese, which 201 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: by the way, is really tasty, But you think that's 202 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: going to affect many of these other factors? Of course 203 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: it does, of course it does. Third study Effective breakfast 204 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: on weight and energy intake systematic review and meta analysis 205 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: of randomized controlled trials British Medical Journal, January. Now another 206 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: one that says not really that important. That's the headline 207 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: that that was taken from this. So many of the 208 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: headlines you read in these magazines they pull from these 209 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: studies and then they come up with, like I said 210 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: at the start, everything you know about breakfast is wrong, 211 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: so they twist the results. Okay. So the objective of 212 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: this study was a meta analysis, systematic review and meta 213 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: analysis of thirteen studies. So they looked at thirteen controlled 214 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: trials published between January January eighteen in US to getting 215 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: the effect of breakfast on weight loss and or energy intake. Okay, 216 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: did you lose weight or did you eat more throughout 217 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: the day? Okay? And so one of the findings was 218 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: people who ate breakfast had a higher total daily energy 219 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: intake than those assigned to skip breakfast, and it was 220 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: about sixty calories and that can add up, okay. But 221 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: the conclusion they came to in the study of the 222 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: studies suggest that the addition of breakfast might not be 223 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: a good strategy for weight loss, regardless of established breakfast habit. 224 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: Caution is needed when recommending breakfast were weight loss and adults, 225 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: as it could have the opposite effects. Again, what kind 226 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: of breakfast? And here's the final kicker again for this 227 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: study is they say all of the included trials were 228 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: at a high or unclear risk of bias in at 229 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: least one domain and had only short term follow ups 230 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: mean periods seven weeks for the weight studies and two 231 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: weeks for the energy intake. As the quality of the 232 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: included studies was mostly low, the findings should be interpreted 233 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: with caution. Come on, can't take these studies and then 234 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: and then just serve to confuse by saying, well, it's 235 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 1: not the most important meal of the day. And again, 236 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Define important? Alright, just a couple 237 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: more and then we're gonna bring it all home. Prospective 238 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: Study of breakfast eating and incident coronary heart disease in 239 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: a cohort of male US health professionals. And this was 240 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: in circulation July two. This is super important. So back again, 241 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: is it the most important meal of to day for 242 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: weight loss or for cardiovascular health people? Okay? It's a 243 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: study from the Harvard School of Public Health, and it 244 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: adds evidence that eating breakfast is important for good health. Okay. 245 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: The Harvard School for Public Health researchers found that men 246 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: who regularly skipped breakfast had a twenty seven percent higher 247 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease 248 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: and the those who did not eat a morning meal. Okay. 249 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: They also found, not surprisingly back to the glycimia right, 250 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: blood sugar, non breakfast eaters were generally hungrier later in 251 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: the day and ate more food at night, perhaps leading 252 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: to metabolic changes in heart disease. Okay, that's really important, 253 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,479 Speaker 1: and it's not just about weight loss such an overarching 254 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: theme of this show. Is it cardio or is its 255 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: strength training? Eat breakfast, don't eat? Why? What are we 256 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: talking about? Why? What is the importance? What? What are 257 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: what are the benefits? Well accord to these studies, Yes, 258 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: there's mixed findings, mixed quality of studies. Not many that 259 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: I've come across about the quality of the foods. So 260 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: many of these are self reports. So we have to 261 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: look at where the people even honest about what they 262 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: ate how much they ate? All right, and great quote 263 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: from a nutritionist and dietary counselor nanny tough when in 264 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: regards to these studies, She says, skipping breakfast makes you hungrier. 265 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Eating larger meals later in the day, we'll make blood 266 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: sugars surge, paving the way for diabetes, weight gain, and 267 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: high blood pressure. I agree, your body will start trying 268 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: to make up for what it originally needed at breakfast. 269 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: And according to her and I concur it's the biggest 270 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: mistake people can make each day. With our busy lifestyles, 271 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: we've gotten away from what is important, all right, and 272 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: it creates a snowball effect that you're eating bigger portions 273 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: when you eat all right to final ones to final 274 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: Skipping breakfast is associated with adipocity markers, especially when sleep 275 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: time is adequate in adolescence. Scientific reports. This was April two, nineteen. 276 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: All these studies super recent, and it looked at two 277 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: different studies and they determined that skipping breakfast is associated 278 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: with total and abdominal obesity independent of sleeping time. And 279 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: this was a European boys Okay, European and Brazilian adolescents 280 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: even when they sleep enough, so sleep is connected to eating. 281 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: But skipping bread fast presented higher levels of obesity, and 282 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: that's super important. I'm gonna finish the show just talking 283 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: about like I have two boys I've talked about on 284 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: on many shows. I start their day with an enormous, 285 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: healthy breakfast, and I would argue it helps with their school, 286 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: it helps with their health, it helps with their sports, 287 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: it helps with everything. Okay, and the final one and 288 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: this one perfect one to end on. Okay, Meal frequency 289 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: and timing are associated with changes in body mass index 290 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: in Adventists health study to Okay. This was Journal of Nutrition, 291 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: September two thousand seventeen, and this is a huge uh. 292 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: The analysis used data from fifty thousand adult members aged 293 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: over thirty years from that church, the Seventh Day Adventist 294 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: Church in the United States and Canada, And this is 295 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: amazing and and not surprising. Breakfast eaters experienced a decreased 296 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: BMI compared with breakfast skippers relative to subjects who ate 297 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: their largest meal at dinner. Those who consume breakfast as 298 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: the largest meal experienced a significant decrease in b m 299 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: I and those who consumed a big launch experienced too 300 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: smaller but still significant decrease in b m I than 301 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: those who ate their largest meal and dinner. And these 302 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: groups tend to eat healthier, so it's not surprising So 303 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: when we have this discussion about whether breakfast is the 304 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: most important meal of the day, and there's no discussion 305 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: about what, you've gotta be kidding me. You've gotta be 306 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: kidding me. All right. So we have a bunch of 307 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: different studies, but it got us to the point that 308 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: I wanted it to that it's not just about weight loss. 309 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: But according to the study with the most people fifty 310 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: thousand September two seventeen, breakfast eaters experienced a decreased b 311 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: m I body mass index compared with people who skip breakfast. Okay, alright, 312 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: one more break We're gonna put it all together, talk 313 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: about why we do it, how we do it, and 314 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: what we do, what specific types of breakfasts. All right, 315 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: we'll be right back. So we're talking about breakfast. Now, 316 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: let me say this. There are always the outliers, and 317 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: generally speaking, you know all people who say to me, 318 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: I don't need breakfast and they're skinny. But here's the thing, 319 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at them in their skinny. I don't 320 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: know they're markers. I don't know their blood chemistry, I 321 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: don't know their heart health. So just because you're skinny 322 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you shouldn't eat breakfast, And I would argue 323 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 1: it's like being dehydrated. I think when you skip breakfast, 324 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: can you be skinny and be okay? Sure, but maybe 325 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: your your body would work better and your brain would 326 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: work better. And that's where I'm gonna end up, because 327 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: we're not just talking about our body here, we're talking 328 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: about our brain, as that second study with the kids 329 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: and the depression alluded to. So listen, if you don't 330 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: even breakfast and you're good, you're good. And I know 331 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: many people will say, well, Tom, I'm not hungry. I'm 332 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: generally not that hungry in the morning either, So the 333 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: fuel I fill up with is generally gonna be a 334 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: little bit more or or significantly more than my appetite. 335 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: But I know how busy I'm gonna be, and this 336 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: is all you do a five hour show on this, 337 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: and you guys would hate me. But so many things 338 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: have changed the way the busy lifestyles we lead. We're 339 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: not sitting down and eating. We're eating on the go 340 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: in the car, standing up. So it's different. So I 341 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: start my day, and I start my kid's day and 342 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: my family's day off on the right foot. And it 343 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: makes me happy every single day. All right, So the 344 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: analogy is simplistic, but true. We are like a car, 345 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: a vehicle. You gotta fuel up with the gas, and 346 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: not only fuel up with gas, but the highest premium 347 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: that we can to start the day, fueling up not 348 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: only our bodies, people, but our brains. Okay, the brain 349 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: really quickly. The brain runs on glucose. Okay, it's a 350 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: form of sugar. It's the primary source of energy for 351 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: every cell in the body. And because the brain is 352 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: primarily made up of nerve cells, they're called neurons. It's 353 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: the most energy demanding organ in the body. That means 354 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: it requires the most energy, one half of all the 355 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: energy used in the body. The sugar. Okay, we're talking thinking, 356 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: We're talking memory, learning. All of these things are closely 357 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: related to glucose. Whole another show. But why are we 358 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: eating breakfast? We are fueling our body for the activities 359 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: to come. Can you get away with not doing it? Absolutely? 360 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: Are you going to probably over eat later in the day. 361 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: Most people will make poor food choices. Most people will 362 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: me being an equals one, I know that when I 363 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: don't eat breakfast, I totally eat more poorly throughout the day. 364 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: The bigger and the higher quality my breakfast, the better 365 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm doing. Okay, it's gonna set you up for a 366 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: daytime twenty four hours of success. Okay, for your brain 367 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: and your body, those two things. We are fueling our bodies. 368 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: And we just learned about cardiovascular disease correlation. Okay, all 369 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: of these different things. So breakfast, why do we do it. 370 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: It's gonna encourage you most likely to eat healthier, make 371 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: healthier food choices throughout the day. It is going to 372 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: balance your blood sugar levels. You're not going to have 373 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: these cravings, these wide fluctuations, especially when you eat healthy. 374 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: So that's the thing. So when the headline I pulled off, 375 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: it says, why is breakfast the most important meal of 376 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: the day? In parentheses, it's why is a healthy breakfast 377 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: the most important meal of the day. It boosts your 378 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,239 Speaker 1: energy levels. You're gonna have energy, not just boost. It 379 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: gives you energy. It's going to promote heart health according 380 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: to these studies, and it's going to help fuel your brain. 381 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: So it's not just about weight. It's about getting vitamins 382 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: and minerals in in the morning and eating enough to 383 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: fuel for the duration. And let me give you real quickly. 384 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: I like just every meal I have, it's a healthy 385 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: carbohydrate and a healthy protein, and generally I'll throw in 386 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: a healthy fat too in the in the morning, it's 387 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: easier for me. So healthy carbohydrates that means complex sources 388 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: of carbohydrates. And I believe and as do many nutritionists. 389 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: I have sports nutrition certification. But in addition to being 390 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: an sist physiologist. But protein in the morning, we don't 391 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: get enough. Most people don't get enough, and protein helps 392 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: you feel satiated, feel full. When you just have carbs, 393 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: especially a simple carb that's gonna lead to the blood 394 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: sugar spikes. Okay, that's gonna make the hunger. That's gonna 395 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: make as we say, the wheels fall off at three o'clock. 396 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: And in the end, that's what it all comes down to, 397 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: or one of the things that comes down to the 398 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: wheels falling off at three o'clock. You skip breakfast, you 399 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: get hungry, and the wheels fall off, and then you 400 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: consume the majority of your calories from three pm till 401 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: whenever you go to bed at night. All right, So 402 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 1: what are some great options whole grain cereals or bread. 403 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: Great carbohydrate source in moderation, low fat, milk, yogurt, cottage, cheese. 404 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: There's your protein sources fresh fruit and vegetables. I love it. Again, 405 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: those are the carbs, and you can do nuts lagoons 406 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: for even more protein. So give you my quick three 407 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: go to breakfasts. Personally did one this morning. It was oatmeal. 408 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: There's carbs in there, complex carbohydrates, there's some protein. I 409 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: threw in blueberries. I do some flax seeds for a 410 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: healthy fat. And then I had two hard boiled eggs 411 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: and some caffeine coffee. Always my second go to breakfast 412 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: is a huge omelet filled with vegetables. Huge. Now you 413 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: can have two eggs, four eggs, six eggs. Talk about 414 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: the yolks in another show, but egg omelet, lots of vegetables, 415 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: and quite often I'll throw some holy toast in there 416 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: as well. Nice huge breakfast to get me started. And finally, 417 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: if I'm super busy, which is an excuse I could 418 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: do all the I will do the protein shake and 419 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: a banana. So the banana for me is the carbohydrate 420 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: because the protein powder I generally use or the pre mix, 421 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of carbs in that, so that 422 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: is something in my stomach to get me going, especially 423 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: if I'm doing an early workout where I don't want 424 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: too much in my stomach. That's what I'm gonna have. 425 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: So we got the oatmeal, You've got the egg omelet 426 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: if you want something like that. Another great one, by 427 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: the way, is yogurt and granola, protein, healthy fat, carbs 428 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: right there. So you find what works for you. And 429 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: then I just rotated. I just rotate it. So depending 430 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: on my mood, my schedule, those are my three. Now 431 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: I have many others, but those are the mainstays. So 432 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: you find what works for you. But breakfast, it's important. 433 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: It's not just about weight loss. A healthy breakfast is 434 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: just one of the greatest ways to start your day. 435 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: And if you have weight to lose and you're not 436 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: eating breakfast, I had many clients like that, hundreds and 437 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: hundreds over the years. I say, you've got to change something. 438 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: Something's not working. So if weight loss is your goal 439 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: and you think it's counterintuitive, well it's not working, so 440 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: why don't you try it and give it more than 441 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: give it? Around six weeks you truly breakfast. I would 442 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: say for six weeks, you're gonna start to see some change. 443 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: And positive change. Healthy breakfast. That's what we're talking about here, 444 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: complex carbohydrates, ween, sources of protein and healthy fats. Sounds 445 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: like a Mediterranean diet to me. I am Tom Holland. 446 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. I hope you got something out 447 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: of this. Do I think breakfast is a really important meal, 448 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: and yes, the most important meal of the day, because 449 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: it sets up our day. If you have your breakfast 450 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: at night and then go to bed, what is that 451 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: you know your biggest meal? I should say, Does that 452 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: make a lot of sense? I don't think so. All right, 453 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening.
