Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal: Why You Should Ditch Your Morning Meal For Health and Wellbeing

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but only if we skip it. Since Victorian times, we have been told to breakfast like kings and dine like paupers. In the wake of his own type 2 diabetes diagnosis, Professor Terence Kealey was given the same advice. He soon noticed that his glucose levels were unusually high after eating first thing in the morning. But if he continued to fast until lunchtime they fell to a normal level. Professor Kealey began to question how much evidence there was to support the advice he’d been given, and whether there might be an advantage for some to not eating breakfast after all. Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal asks: What is the reliable scientific and medical evidence for eating breakfast? Why do people suppose that eating breakfast reduces the total amount of food they consume over the day, when the opposite is true? Who should consider intermittent fasting by removing breakfast from their daily routine? From weight loss to reduced blood pressure, what are the potential benefits of missing breakfast? Kealey's book is not just about living a healthy lifestyle, it's about understanding the science behind our diet. Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal is a must-read for anyone interested in fitness and healing their body through food. For fans of Gary Taubes (The Case Against Sugar), Dr Jason Fung (The Obesity Code), Max Lowery (The 2 Meal Day), David Nutt (Drink?), and Robert H. Lustig (Metabolical).
