Israeli scholars put forward a new view that eating high-calorie breakfast can achieve the effect of losing weight. (Photo/excerpt from the British Daily Telegraph) The Telegraph quoted a journal paper published in Steroid Problem 20 1 1+0 12, pointing out that the research team of Tel Aviv University in Israel has 193 severely obese people. One group ate only 300 calories per breakfast, while the other group got a chocolate cake rich in protein and carbohydrates after dinner, making the total calorie intake reach 600 calories.
In the middle of the experiment, everyone lost an average of 15 kg (33 lbs), but in the following 16 weeks, the experimental group with 600 calories for breakfast would continue to lose 6.8 kg (15 lbs), while the control group with 300 calories unexpectedly gained 10 kg (22 lbs). On the whole, the weight of the subjects who ate high-calorie breakfast every day declined instead of rising, with an average weight loss of 18 kg (40 lbs).
Professor Daniela Jakubowicz, who is in charge of this research, explained that the hormone "ghrelin" in the human body is the key to hunger. On an empty stomach, "ghrelin" will be secreted in large quantities, which will make people feel "hungry". Eating breakfast can inhibit this hormone better than the other two meals, so the more calories you consume in breakfast, the more you can delay the onset of hunger. On the other hand, people who don't eat breakfast well often eat a lot of snacks with high calorie and sugar outside the main meal because they are not hungry, and their weight will naturally soar, so the sentence "Eating breakfast is like king" makes sense.
Men need 1600 calories a day, and women need 1400 calories. Swallowing 600 calories in one breath in the morning will not make him worry about getting fat, but will make his body automatically adjust the time and weight of calorie intake and maintain a good spirit all day. The researchers also found that the weight loss effect of eating high-calorie breakfast is long-term, and the probability of gaining weight is not high, so moving the dessert after afternoon tea or dinner to the morning can kill two birds with one stone!
