If you swap dinner and breakfast, you'll lose weight twice as fast and efficiently. An old truth in a new study now.
Obese women on a highly strict diet of 1400 kcal (it's hard not to lose weight on it) were divided into two groups. One group ate 200 kcal for breakfast, 500 kcal for lunch, and 700 kcal for dinner. Agree, that's how many people eat in daily life. In the other group breakfast and dinner were swapped: foods that were eaten in the morning in the first group were eaten in the evening, and vice versa.
The women were even allowed dessert — cookies, small chocolate cake, etc. After 12 weeks with such breakfast the women lost more than 8 kg, while in the other group — only 3.2 kg. Judging by waist thinning, there was also more than a 2-fold difference.
At the same time, the women who ate a good breakfast had lower levels of the hunger hormone
ghrelin in their blood, and they didn't suffer from craving for something to eat.
