    Breakfast

    It seems to be a common theme that you should eat a good breakfast.

     

    I read some where that this research was sponsored by Kelloggs.

     

    Does anybody know of science based peer reviewed articles on this issue?

     

    Or is it just good marketing and trying to make high sugar foods seem healthy?

     

    It would seem in the “good old days” when you had to “catch and kill your own” or pick it for the less carnivorous that breakfast would have been mid to late morning after some activity not one of the first activities of the day.

    In the "old days" people only lived about 30 years... :)

     Check out these articles:

    http://www.permanente.net/homepage/kaiser/pdf/6128.pdf

    They refer to scientific studies performed over a number of years.

    Re: Breakfast

    Thanks for the information the first link was to a page written over 10 years ago.

     

    It seems Kaiser Permanente

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Permanente

     

    It is a health insurance provider and not a research based organisation.

     

    It seems that

     

    Kaiser performed 56 transplants in 2005 and twice that many patients died waiting for a kidney.” From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Permanente

     

    If this is typical of people waiting for kidney transplants I don’t know

     

    I have no experience with the business and so can’t say what its business ethos is.

    Re: Breakfast

    Kelloggs always pushes us to buy their product with such advertisements...

     

    I feel its more of a marketing thing that they do for their product....

    Re: Breakfast

    I am a firm believer in a good breakfast, although I wouldn't say that kelloggs alone would suffice.

    I wake up hungry, and have to eat pretty much straight away, but I need a breakfast of carbs, protein, and/or vegie to start the day.

    Re: Breakfast

    Don there's a recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition that examines this (well - protein and it's timing for fullness). Excerpt:

    "There is a growing body of research which supports eating high-quality protein foods when dieting to maintain a sense of fullness," said Wayne W. Campbell, PhD, study author and professor of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University. "This study is particularly unique in that it looked at the timing of protein intake and reveals that when you consume more protein may be a critical piece of the equation."

    Perhaps you could subscribe to specific journals in order to keep in the loop with the studies and areas of research you are interested in. I know how difficult it can be trying to find certain studies online. Possibly your GP, Specialist or nutritionist could advise you further.

    Re: Breakfast

    Interesting stuff Kaz.

    One thing I've found with people on high protein diets is that whilst they initially feel full, they often come to a stage where they start to crave more food (protein or carbs). Maybe it's just those on low fat, high protein diet.

    Re: Breakfast

    i haven't read the study or anything like that - but i can tell you, from my own experience, that whilst not doing a high protein diet, it is very important as part of a balanced diet to help satiety levels. i know if i have a more carb-based meal that i am hungrier faster, and less satisfied, than when i have some protein with it. i'm all about balance and i think it's great to continually question and test and try new approaches...

    Re: Breakfast

    For sure, I have been trying a few different things lately with higher protein breakfasts and it is working fine for me. I'm just not sure I could do it all the time.

    I guess the benefit of cereals is that they are there and ready to go with minimal preparation required, which is ideal for most people first thing in the morning because they can spend that extra 10 minutes in bed :)  . The down side is that they really don't make you feel full and there are only a small amount that are actually a good healthy option.
