The three worst breakfast for your health.

Now, despite what you've probably been told, breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.

That was advertising from the cereal companies. However,

there is an old adage, which I actually agree with, that you should eat like a king at breakfast,

a prince or a princess at lunch, and a pauper for dinner. Let me give me an example of that. Just yesterday,

I was talking with one of my patients who did very poorly on time restricted eating programs.

Now, in most time restricted eating programs, which I recommend personally, we delay break fast, breakfast, until later in the morning, preferably around noon, so that your first meal of the day is at noon.

And then you want to go six to eight hours maximum during which

you eat the rest of your food. And then the rest of the evening and all through the night

in the morning, you are fasting, promoting ketosis. That works for a great number of people. It's been

studied extensively in humans and

animals and found to improve health in multiple areas. But there's some people who just don't do well

missing breakfast. And you might very well be one of them like my patient that I had yesterday.

So we devised a system where he

compressed his eating window, but he ate breakfast at 6 o'clock in the morning, and he finished his

last meal of the day at noon. So he was still eating a six-hour window, but the rest of the day was when he was

fasting and overnight. Now, he thrives on that system. And why not? As long as you're

compressing your eating window, it really doesn't matter when you do that.

And so for some of you who are breakfast people, that's a great option.

It was just confirmed on his blood work yesterday to my delight and actually to his delight.
