    Do not skip breakfast for weight loss

    At least according to this article :

    http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/19/he...hythms-drayer/

    "The research on front-loading food

    It's true that over-consuming calories at any time of day will result in weight gain. But skipping meals or eating too few calories earlier in the day appears to stack the odds against us. The result: Weight loss is hard to come by. In fact, more and more research points to the fact that when you front-load your calories instead, you have a much better chance of shedding pounds.
    "What we have seen is that people on diets with the same number of calories who front-load calories to the earlier part of the day fare better in terms of subjective and objective measures of satiety," Freuman said. "They feel more satiated in evening, and there are actually differences in their hunger and satiety hormones ... and this seems to contribute to weight loss success."
    One study involving 420 overweight and obese participants divided individuals into two groups: early eaters and late eaters, based on the timing of their lunch (i.e. before or after 3 p.m.). The late lunch eaters also ate lower-calorie breakfasts or skipped breakfast more often than early eaters.

    Are 'food comas' real or a figment of your digestion?

    At the end of the 20-week study period, the late eaters lost less weight compared with the earlier eaters (17 vs. 22 pounds on average, respectively) and lost their weight more slowly, despite the fact that both groups ate approximately 1,400 calories per day and consumed similar amounts of fat, protein and carbohydrates."

    Which totally contradicts all the intermittent fasting proponents who normally skip breakfast in their quest to fast 16-18 hours a day and eat in a 6-8 hour window. Not to mention what that fasting window does for one physiologically such as lowering insulin levels and blood sugar, promotes ketosis depending on what one eats, etc.

    Of course one could have an eating window that does include breakfast, but I think most prefer their eating window to be later in the day, say from 12-6 or 12-8. So actually it's not contradictory per se, just when one prefers that eating window to be.

    The finding was that front loading the food is easier when the evening comes than vice versa. It makes intuitive sense because the food is eaten before the workday begins which is when one needs the energy the most.

    I understand the theory is you burn it off during the day. It's easer for me to not eat early since I'm not really hungry then anyway, and then eat later, and I'm not hungry in the evening either.

    The findings are statistical by nature of course.
