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.

Sucralose: Sweet Taste / Energy Content Mismatch Offsets Our Nutrient Gauge and May Make us Overeat, but...

Beware: Splenda(R) is not sucralose, but 95% dextrose (D-glucose) and + maltodextrin combined with an undisclosed small amount of mostly indigestible sucralose. "These findings further reinforce the idea that 'sugar-free' varieties of processed food and drink may not be as inert as we anticipated. Artificial sweeteners can actually change how animals perceive the sweetness of their food, with a discrepancy between sweetness and energy levels prompting an increase in caloric consumption," Professor Herzog said according to the press release the University of Sydney published last week alongside the publication of a study that was co-authored by Herzog in CELL Metabolism - a study with the telling title "Sucralose Promotes Food Intake through NPY and a Neuronal Fasting Response" (Wang. 2016).

Human Study Links High Meal Frequency to Higher Weight Gain and Accumulation of Liver Fat: Are Our Sugary + Fatty Snacks the Reason We Are Sick & Obese?

The "average Westerner" is fat. That's for sure, but is it actually possible that it is the often recommended increase in meal frequency which is to blame for that? A soon-to-be-published published study from the Academic Medical Centre Amsterdam sheds a whole new light on the role chocolate bars, potato ships, coke and even "healthy" *rofl* fruit juices may play in the etiology of the obesity epidemic (Thanks to reductions in life expectancy and fertility the US prevalence of overweight, obesity, and extreme obesity will plateau at about 28%, 32%, and 9% in 2030; cf. Thomas. 2013) In a one of a kind human study, the researchers assigned 36 lean, initially healthy men to a 40% hypercaloric diet that was meant to emulate the contemporary food intake of US kids who get ~ 27% of their daily energy intake from high fat and high fat + high sugar snacks.

Mother's Day Special: 13+ Things Science Has To Tell Us About the First "VIP" in Our Lives

Tell me that's not you! (img. Geeks.Pirillo.com) While the risk of birth has decreased by 99% in the course of the 20th century, from approximately 850 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 1900 to 7.5 in 1982, it is - at least in the US - stagnating ever since (2002 data from the CDC; cf. Chang. 2002). This does not just mean that the Healthy People 2000 objective for maternal mortality of no more than 3.3 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births was not achieved during the twentieth century; it does also mean that your mother - irrespective of your and her age risked her life for you, the very moment you were born. And I am pretty sure that regardless of whether she's had the chance to do just that again, she'd be willing to sacrifice her life, if that would save yours. This alone would be worth cherishing what she has done and hopefully is and will be doing for you on at least one day of the year! Now, science is a pretty impersonal business and using questi...

Get Lean & Stay Lean with Emedin, Galangin & Antibiotics. Plus: Breakfast & Morning Glucose Metabolism. Diet Once, Never Eat to Satiety Again? Adipocyte Size & NAFLD

Written by | published on

Instead of making excuses for posting yet another "short news" collection instead of the next installment of the Athlete's Triad series, I will honestly tell you that I simply wasn't in the mood. Moreover, I have the feeling that I have already outlined what is going to work, i.e. train less, eat more and don't get all psyched up about being lean and looking good. Live your life! Against that background my gut tells me that any further details would just get you off track and back into the viscous cycle of overtraining, overdieting and overthinking why things don't work out for you by evoking the impression that as long as you take supplement X you could get away with doing a little bit 'less less' and eat a little bit 'less more'. This would be about as counter-productive as the eternal quest for the ultimate body fat blocker or fat burner of which today's Get lean and Stay Lean Quickie does actually feature three. While the tempora...

Set to Be Obese? Epigenetic Programing in Utero - The Roles of Over- & Undernutrition, High & Low Protein, Fruits, Veggies, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium, Vitamins & More

Image 1: Your mother's diet is not the sole cause of your love handles and health problems, but it could well have tipped the scale to your fat disadvantage. Don't be resentful, but don't repeat the same mistakes, either! While it is certainly false to assume that anyone can't help but to get obese, it's similarly hard to deny that some people just have to cut back on the coke and sweets they eat to get back in shape, while others struggle with shedding superfluous weight (=fat) and regaining their health even if they are in a reasonable caloric deficit, eat a whole foods diet and exercise regularly. "It must be in my genes!" is what you will usually hear from people on both ends of the spectrum and while the former will smile at you and grab the next best snickers bar, just "to make sure that they don't lose too much weight", the unfortunate people on the other end of the spectrum are clutching to each and every straw, or, in these day...
