There is no doubt that every striving to get fit will try Diet The old one focused on eating a big meal at breakfast and a bit less at lunch, and a very light meal at dinner.
Some studies and experts have previously linked eating the bulk of food early in the day to lower rates of obesity and getting rid of excess weight, but a new study revealed that this is not true.
Scottish researchers from the University of Aberdeen discovered that when meals were eaten had no effect on weight loss, noting that metabolism burns as many calories in the evening as it does in the morning.
They also considered that the only benefit of eating more food in the morning is not to be hungry later in the day, according to the British newspaper, The Sun.
Meal time does not affect
The study, published on the Cell website, was conducted on 16 men and 14 women over a four-week period to see how their weight was affected depending on what time of day they ate the most calories.
Everyone was given the same healthy diet, but half were forced to eat the majority of their calories at breakfast, and the other half at dinner.
After two weeks, the opposite was done. People who consumed most of their calories in the morning ate later in the day, and vice versa.
In addition, everyone in the study lost the same amount of weight during each of the four weeks, indicating that their metabolism burns about the same amount of energy in the morning as the evening.
feeling full
In turn, the study’s lead author, Professor Alexandra Johnston, explained that the participants felt that they controlled their appetite better on the days when they ate a larger breakfast and that they “felt full throughout the day.”
However, she noted that when it comes to timing and dieting, “it is unlikely that there is a one-size-fits-all diet.” “Discovering this will be the future of diet studies, but it is very difficult to measure,” she added.
It is noteworthy that weight loss varies from person to person, but the only method that works in all areas is a calorie deficit.
A calorie deficit occurs when you consume fewer calories than you consume in a day.
