Eat Early, Weigh Less: The Impact of Meal Timing on Weight and Metabolic Health

Discover how prioritizing breakfast or dinner in your diet can affect weight loss and metabolic syndrome risk factors. Two groups consumed 1400 calories per day, with breakfast or dinner being the main focus. The "Breakfast Diet" allocated 700 calories for breakfast, 500 for lunch, and 200 for dinner, while the "Dinner Diet" reversed this. Results showed that the breakfast diet group lost more weight and experienced improvements in triglycerides and HDL levels. They also had better blood sugar control and reduced waist size. The participants on the breakfast diet reported feeling less hungry compared to the dinner diet group. This study emphasizes the importance of meal timing in weight management and overall health.
