High Protein Breakfast Lowers Weight (8%), Waistline (4%) + HbA1c (12%) in T2DM - Especially if the Protein is Whey

Written by | published on
Image
Protein Pudding Cups like those suggested on shape.com may be part of a T2DM therapeutic high protein breakfast. It's no news that a high protein breakfast will keep you satiated for longer time periods than a sugary cereal. There's also existing evidence that whey proteins are an excellent choice for people with type II diabetes as their effects on GIP, GLP1, and insulin help reduce postprandial glucose levels in T2DM. Against that background. it is quite surprising that no previous study did what researchers from the Tel Aviv University, the Central University, Caracas, the Lund University, the Weizmann Institute of Science, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem did, recently, i.e. "examine[] whether a high-energy, protein breakfast containing whey leads to a greater weight loss and reduction of overall postprandial glycemia and HbA1C compared to isocaloric diet with a different source of protein or carbohydrates at breakfast for 12 weeks in type 2 diabetes subject...

Less Frequent Meals and Eating Most Calories Early in the Day May Prevent Body Fat from Accumulating Over Years

Written by | published on
Image
Epidemiologists created the myth of obesity preventing, weight loss promoting effects of increases in meal frequency. Experimental scientists have yet not been able to convince the public that this is bogus... so, studies like Kahleova e al. (2017) may be 'observational bogus', but could actually be more likely to facilitate change than even the best RCTs. As a SuppVersity  reader you know that the commonly heard advice to eat 5-6 smaller vs. 3 larger meals in order to "stoke the metabolic fire" is bullshit ("No Advantage of 6 Meals While Dieting" | read ; "Many Small Meals Suck! Especially For Diabetics" | read ). Unfortunately, the mainstream media has not caught up to this insight... ... at least not until now. Now you're rightly asking yourselves why this would change, right? Well, you know how mainstream science reporting is obsessed with the impressive number of study participants in often practically worthless epidemiological studi...

Intermittent Fasting Increases 24h Energy Expenditure, But Skipping Breakfast Linked to Reduced Metabolic Flexibility

Written by | published on

"To eat or not to eat breakfast?" Unfortunately, the scientists geared their research pretty much to this question. Alright, you all have read my recent Facebook news post  about the reduced energy expenditure students reported in a hitherto unpublished paper. Those of you who have (rightly) pointed out that this was at best preliminary evidence (which is, by the way, exactly what I pointed out, as well), will now feel vindicated: Scientists from the German  University of Hohenheim  report that "when compared with the 3-meal control, 24-h energy expenditure was higher" with a meal-skipping regimen that had a lot of similarity to what many of you will practice and label "intermittent fasting".

Starting to Have Breakfast is Worst New Year's Resolution ... Unless You Want to Gain Weight (80% Fat, 20% Lean Mass)

Written by | published on

Unless your breakfast looks like this, the study does not mean that you can no longer have breakfast. If you're following the SuppVersity  news, you may remember a post from Wednesday in which I outlined that it is no wonder people fail to lose the weight they intend to, because they try to achieve this weight loss by having soup or, you guessed it, finally doing what the mainstream nutrition experts' cookie-cutter approaches suggest and.. have breakfast, every day . What actually happens to those who fall for the epidemiological bullsh*t science that's trying to extrapolate causal relationships from observational (often unreliable) data has now been demonstrated by a group of US scientists. Believe it or not, Gabrielle Marie LeCheminant et al. are the first researchers to actually experimentally investigated how starting to have breakfast voluntarily will affect your energy intake and weight trajectory.

Not Getting into Ketosis? Try Plain Old Caffeine to Double Your AM Ketone Levels Regardless of High CHO Breakfast

Written by | published on
Image
Neither a ketogenic breakfast nor buttered coffee were necessary to double the subjects' ketone production. Ok, I have to admit that the breakfast that was served in the latest study from the Research Center on Aging, Sherbrooke, CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS and the Department of Pharmacology & Physiology, Université de Sherbrooke in Canada (Vandenberghe. 2016) is not exactly what anyone would recommend to people who are trying to get into full ketosis. This, however, does not make the scientists' observation that the addition of 3mg/kg and 5mg/kg of caffeine in form of cheap caffeine pills from the pharmacy will almost (moderate dose) and more than (high dose) double the subjects' ketone production, does not make the latest study from Camille Vandenberghe's lab less interesting.
