Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
I think every meal you eat is important
Let me explain๐๐
*****drinks a glass of cold water****
You are only in control of your food when it has not left your plate to your mouth.
The moment it leaves your plate to your mouth, you seize to be in control.
Enzymes, hormones and other internal processes beyond your control happens.
The concept of breakfast didn't exist until around the industrial age.
When fast life and convenience became a norm.
Let me chip in a little physiology here.
It will take between 20-30 hours for food to move from your mouth to your A**s.
First 3-12hours between your stomach and your colon.
The remaining hours in your colon.
You need a space between each meal.
At least for your stomach and intestine to work effectively.
*Sips green Tea*
Modern advice is you should eat breakfast between 7 am and 9 am.
Not bad advice though
Now here is where the problem lies
In most mornings you won't have time to cook good food.
That gives you a fast alternative
-Bread
-Breakfast cereals
-noodles
-pap/reads
-fruit juice
All high carbs high fat.
The thing is your body has enough calories in store to take you up to 10days without harm.
Your blood can only hold 4g of glucose in a given time.
That's 1 cube of sugar
Your liver stores up to 100g of glycogen(liver starch)
Your muscles stores a further 300g of glucose
When you eat every time you don't allow your body to utilize fat.
Because glucose is always,
Present in your blood.
Which the body responds by producing insulin,
insulin helps your body utilize nutrients,
Insulin promotes fat storage(anabolism).
The fat you are not using,
Overtime eating leads to more production of insulin
Your cells start getting tired of insulin and resist it.
Leading to your pancreas, producing more, high insulin levels is very bad for your health and well-being with the fact that it can make you fat, Thin out fat in(TOFI).
Half of your problem will be solved if you cut out sugar.
Further 20% if you delay the next meal.
25% percent if you source majority of your calories from:
-Protein
-Non Starchy veggies
-Complex carbs
-Good fats
If you eat:
-Fibre
-organic foods
I just solved your 95% diet issues in a thread.
Breakfast 1: 11am-12pm
Breakfast 2: before 8 pm
Make sure you eat at least 2 hours before bedtime.
Fast daily. Start with 16hours.
Before I go, let me remind you that insulin resistance is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to your body.
Decide to make shrewd changes today.
Your health is your first wealth.
Don't forget to stay healthy and safe....
