What? Where did this theory come from? Haven't we learned recently that periodic fasting is better for you? And if you use skipping breakfast as a method of caloric restriction?
- jmpman 7y agoMaybe periodic fasting is also associated with heart disease.
- Xcelerate 7y agoYeah, first I heard breakfast was good for you, so I always ate breakfast, then I read it’s better not to eat breakfast because of some fasting effects, so I stopped eating breakfast. Now this article says it’s related to heart disease. I give up on these food studies; the findings never seem to be consistent. I think I’m just going to eat whenever I’m hungry (which isn’t that often).
- TheGRS 7y agoThe whole premise is flawed. We know certain people are more prone to heart disease or need more of this or that. If that's the case I can't see how some sort of conclusion can be made about when to eat. Some people are going to work better with breakfast and others are going to work better without.
- aldur 7y agoThis study [1] might relate to it: Intermittent Fasting in Cardiovascular Disorders—An Overview. In section 7 the authors expose pros and cons of intermittent fasting, specifying that for elderly individuals it might be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, while for the rest of the population it is generally associated with a decreased risk.
