Don't give dinner to the enemy. A new study has shown that the timing of meals does not affect the rate of weight loss

 It is believed that a nutritious breakfast helps you get full quickly and, ultimately, eat less throughout the day. But, as it turned out, this is a myth.

A group of researchers from Aberdeen and Surrey, UK, conducted an independent study of the effectiveness of two different diets.

People who were overweight and had no metabolic problems participated in the study.

The participants were divided into two groups, one of which consumed the highest number of calories for breakfast, and the other for dinner. Lunches were the same.

Throughout the experiment, scientists monitored indicators of metabolic health, weight, and found no difference between the two groups.

Both participants who ate a good breakfast and those who ate a hearty dinner had similar levels of insulin, lipids, and blood glucose. They also lose weight at the same rate.

At the same time, breakfast lovers reported that they feel full during the day, which means that the habit of eating breakfast is useful, rather, for their own comfort.

"Diet timing remains an exciting area of research, and there is growing evidence that meal timing may play an important role in improving the health of many people," the authors write. - However, our latest research shows that the time of day when you eat the most is not as important for weight loss as previously thought.
