Linda C had the program today. She spoke on an article she found titled “Big Breakfast Only Kinda Wins”
Some doctors recently did a study on big breakfast vs small breakfast. They had 16 men and 14 women eat a big breakfast in the morning taking 45 % of daily calories and 35 and 20 for lunch and dinner. The 2nd group did the opposite, taking 45 % intake in the afternoon. They did this for a month. Then had the two groups switch for a month. Both groups lost about 7 pounds. The ones who had the big breakfast reported feeling more satisfied for the rest of the day and did less snacking. Some tips learned: eat breakfast at least one hour after getting up, replace bagels with eggs or some type of protein, and fuel the body every 4-6 hours.
This sparked a discussion among members about what works and does not work for them. Thank you, Linda C, for a great program.
Sharron has the program next week.
