Written by | published on

This is not a photo of a study participant from the Bourne study, but it could be. If you've read yesterday's SuppVersity article with the telling title "Unable to Lose Weight? Behavioral Change, Motivation to Exercise Intensely and Self-Monitoring are the Three Pillars of Short- and Long-Term Weight Loss Success" ( read it ) you will be aware that behavioral change and the way you think about yourself can have make the difference between being "unable to lose weight" and staring in your personal "Biggest Loser" show... speaking of which, one of the two studies in today's installment of the Short News is actually about the real TV show with the same name or rather its effect on young women's snack consumption in front of the screen. The other study, and the one I would like to start with, is about high(er) fat breakfasts. Something the fable of the "super high insulin sensitivity in the AM" would imply must be bad for you. ...

Does the Optimal Meal Frequency Depend on Age? Study Suggests: Kids Better Eat Often, Adolescents Rather Step Away From Their Sugary Sins - Quality Counts!

Frequent Meals Are a Good Thing For Young Kids But Not For Older Ones Who Will Self-Select Their Snacks My recently published article "Many Small Meals Suck! Especially For Diabetics. Human Study Shows 6 Small Meals Mess W/ Blood Sugar Control, Make You Hungry and Decrease The Metabolic Rate" ( read more ) has caused quite a stir in the comment section on the article page, as well as on Facebook. Obviously, we are not all the same, and I did never imply that one or another of the the extra-ordinary SuppVersity readers will thrive on a six+ meal a day regimen. What most people who freaked out totally forgot, though, is that said article was not about a study in which the subjects eat as much as they wanted. It was a study with restricted energy intake. What I really wanted to highlight is thus, that with any diet that delivers less nutrients than you would need in given time period, even a non-significantly higher decrease in basal energy expenditure in response to an...

No, no and no! Don't be stupid! Eat to satiety and fast or stay fat forever! Frequent meals will hamper not improve dietary T2DM treatment. If you want my honest opinion, the only thing that's surprising about the following line you are about to read in all major science news outlets, today, is that it has taken scientists years to understand that "two large meals (breakfast and lunch) better than 6 small meals with same calories for controlling weight and blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes." This is a quote from the press release that was published along with a recent paper in the scientific journal Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) which "suggests that two large meals (breakfast and lunch), rather than six small meals with the same total calories, are better for controlling weight and blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes."

Sleep is a constantly underestimated factor in getting and staying lean. Don't be fooled by statistics. As a SuppVersity reader you know about the role of compromised liver health in the etiology of the diabesity epidemic: When the liver is clogged up with fat, your blood glucose and lipid levels will go overboard. Against that background it is all the more important to know that it's not overtly difficult to prevent that from happening. If we put some faith into the results of a recent study from the Department of Gastroenterology and Metabology at the Ehime University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan (Miyake. 2014), you just have to follow three simple rules: Don't snack, get 7+ hours of sleep and by God, don't sit around all day!

Who Wants To Snack Forever? He Must Be an Idiot, 'cause Snacking is Bad for You - Expect It's Protein and Doesn't Increase Your Energy Intake Way Beyond Your Demands

Hands off, if you want to stay lean! I guess there is a bit of a hyperbole involved in the headline of today's SuppVersity article. In view of the latest results of an experiment that was conducted by scientists from the San Diego State University , it's yet probably not totally beside the point. Zachary Clayton and his colleagues did after all find that their subjects showed similar unwanted metabolic alterations when they consumed two 100kcal snacks per day for 8 weeks (Clayton. 2014).
