Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, has revealed that waiting a few hours for breakfast is best for those trying to lose weight.
This is because most people eat dinner later than previous generations and stop eating around 9 pm
Eating breakfast at 11 am is the only way to achieve 14 hours of fasting, which evidence suggests is healthier for metabolism and weight loss.
Following the strategy for a few months will help people lose 2kg and 5kg.
Professor Spector told the Cheltenham Science Festival: “I think we need to rethink all the things we’ve been told are not healthy, because a lot of new science is coming out.”
Following the event, he said: “There are still people, especially in the north of England, who eat early, but we have generally moved towards continental eating habits, where we eat later like humans in Spain and Italy. And even those who don’t do it can end it. ” The order to eat snacks until 9 pm makes it difficult to achieve a 14-hour fasting period. it is more effective than new fasting regimens such as 5: 2. ”
Spector studied the Hadza tribe of modern hunter-gatherers who live in Tanzania and do not suffer from obesity or type 2 diabetes. They usually start eating at 10:30 or 11:00 every day.
To scientists, “time -restricted food” is increasingly seen as a way to be healthier and lose weight.
“Fasting for 14 hours a day, having a later breakfast, but generally eating the same amount, is easier to achieve in the long run. It works because the germs in our gut have a circadian rhythm like ours and need rest. ” Said Specter.
