Is it true you should eat within 30 minutes of waking up?

This is TRUE and I follow this every day .. to the people that don't, they are not optimally treating their body.
If I ate within 30 minutes of waking up, I would be sick. I can't handle solid food until I've been awake 2-3 hours.
My body gives the finger to "not optimally treating their body."0 -
Well my Dogs and cats think it is as 30 seconds after I wake up I have to feed them all. As others have said meal timing is personal preference. Also a pound a week is not slow.My weight loss is slow. I am only loosing 1 pound a week. Today somebody told me I should eat something within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning. Is this true?
I love your profile pic. I want to snuggle that cute pig face!0 -
People who regularly eat breakfast are, on average, thinner than those that don't.
I need a link to a good study on this. Because considering what most people have for breakfast I call BS. It's easy to get HALF of your daily caloric requirements at breakfast if swinging by McDonald's, Starbuck's, or Dunkin Doughnuts.0 -
Bahaha. This has been a fun read.
Meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss. It is, however, important for an individual's satiety and adherence to their diet . Do what works best for you.
Your metabolism only stops when your dead and your body is a fine tuned machine that isn't going to not run optimally just because you decide 3 meals work better for your schedule and satiety. And eating more often does not increase your metabolism.
For me, the more meals, the hungrier I am throughout the day. I typically have 4 meals. If I were to eat 1 meal or 7 meals, I'd lose the same. Last night, I ate over 1k calories less than an hour before bed. It was ice cream and it was delicious. It was very close to midnight. I am glad I didn't eat it after, it's hard to sleep when you're a gremlin.0 -
Any health an wellness consultant who doesn't realise that your metabolism works 24 hours a day and doesn't need to be kickstarted needs to go back the Health and Wellness collegeAs a health & wellness consultant who works with several dietitians, I advise eating within an hour of getting up. Breakfast helps kick-start your metabolism for the day, gives you more energy, and helps you concentrate better (yes, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day - what applies to school children applies to adults too).

In my opinion eating in the morning has helped my weight loss and has also got rid of my chronic heatburn which I have had for over 10 years!!
Breakfast is called it for a reason Break fast you have been fast whilst asleep and you are breaking that fast.
Yes if you keep under your cals etc you will lose weight but there is a healthy way and an unhealthy way to do it.
I do get annoyed with alot of **** people post on here about you can eat crap as long as you keep under your cals etc I tend to listen to my doctor and PT who are qualified. Eat breakfast, lower carbs in the evening, try not to eat white carbs (it does spike your insulin levels) and drink lots of water.
The only time I have issues is when I don't follow these simple rules.
wow doesn't take much to annoy does it...I being one of those people who say you can eat whatever you want and lose weight as long as you are in a calorie deficit...do not advocate eating "crap" that's icky...who wants to eat poo...
Now if you want Wendy's or DQ or KFC go for it as long as you are in your deficit...
Doctors (unless a nutrional specialist) do not have enough training to provide adequate advice on nutrition...they have 20hours of classes on basics of nutrition (coming from friends and family who are doctors)...and PT's....:laugh: I could become a Personal trainer by taking an online course...so please give that up...they are less qualified than a lot of people here who do more research and spend more time reading about nutrition and physical fitness than 99.9% of the PT's out there...0 -
the reason for this method of madness lol is eating smaller portions more frequently speeds up your metabolism which in turn assists in weight loss. Also by eating more frequently your less likely to binge......Slow and steady wins the race lol but nope, as long as you eat 5-6 small meals a day it don't matter. I mean obviously you wont eat huge meal 10 mins before bed...... I eat every 2-3 hours and 6 small meals a day and i"m doing great and don't feel hungry.
What does it matter if you eat 1-3 meals versus 5-6? And what is wrong with eating right before bed?
So for the past 16 or so months I've eaten 1-2 meals a day, the 2nd meal is usually eaten while laying in bed watching TV and many times I fall asleep very shortly after... looking at my ticker.. nahh you are right guess it doesn't work0 -
There are so many opinions on this and no matter which side a person is on they are absolutely 100% correct; just ask them.
I say find what works for you. The misses watches Dr. Oz all the time, sometimes I’ll sit with her and watch his show it’s not too insufferable. I have seen him do studies on the subject several times; based on his research his conclusion is yes it is important. But what does he know. That’s why I say find what works for you, try it for a while and see if you feel that it works for you better than when you were not eating early.
However, for me and anyone who has to tolerate me in the AM it’s true but for reasons other than what you might think. Imagine if you will the Taz and the Hulk had a child, well when I don’t eat I make that child look like a saint. I wake up famished in the morning and if I don’t eat rather soon I get sick, cranky and just down right ornery. Oh and there better be some strong *kitten* coffee locked and loaded too. But that’s just me, although I am one of those wake up at 0500 and eat six meals a day kind of fellows and it has worked for me but again I have to eat like that otherwise I become a ticking time bomb. I found that the more regularly I ate the more calories I needed to eat and the more regularly I needed to maintain those six meals a day.
But if you can make it to a little later without ripping the spin out of somebody then more power to you.
You say you’re losing a pound a week, well that’s pretty good and is sustainable; not sure what you exercise routine is like but perhaps you could work out a little harder to increase the weight loss.
FYI, I eat around 2400-2500 calories a day and have been losing on a consistent basis, and that’s with a completely sedentary job, I just push it that much harder when I workout.
I hope you find what works for you and are happy with your results. Good luck.0 -
unlike you obviously I go to a decent gym where the PTs are also trained in nutrition.
I also have friends who are doctors and your 20 hours thing is a load of crap as is much of what you have said.0 -

Now for the eating crap comment.. I have never ate crap... but I do eat delicious baked goods, and after a quick look at your diary you eat bakery and chocolate in moderation.. maybe you should take a moment to really read when someone is saying you can eat "junk food" and stay within your calories and see what they are really saying as it's always about moderation.
For the other part if it's working for you that's great but it is not necessary to eat that way to lose weight or for health. Your Doc & PT are certified dietitians?0 -

But it doesn't speed up your metabolism...:huh:
Have you tried it?
Yes. And I saw no discernible difference. It's a myth. If it works for you, then great, but it's not because it's speeding up your metabolism.
I didn't actually start losing any appreciable amount of weight until I started skipping breakfast and waiting until I got properly hungry to eat something. I have 2 meals a day most times and sometimes only 1.0 -

My weight loss is slow. I am only loosing 1 pound a week. Today somebody told me I should eat something within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning. Is this true?
So 4 lbs a month?
48 lbs in a year?
Not to bad to me.
I personally don't eat in the morning, my first meal is usually around 1pm, post workout.
My last meal of the day is around 8pm.0 -

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23672851 Effect of skipping breakfast on subsequent energy intake
These data are consistent with published literature demonstrating that skipping a meal does not result in accurate energy compensation at subsequent meals and suggests that skipping breakfast may be an effective means to reduce daily energy intake in some adults.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24847666 Effect of breakfast skipping on diurnal variation of energy metabolism and blood glucose
Breakfast skipping did not affect 24 h energy expenditure, fat oxidation and thermic effect of food
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24825781 Meal skipping and variables related to energy balance in adults: A brief review, with emphasis on the breakfast meal
A popular notion regarding habitual meal skipping is that it leads to weight gain; however, there is little support for this idea in the scientific literature. Here we review the evidence both for and against this notion in adults (≥18years), with, out of practicality, a primary focus on breakfast meal. To date, few randomized controlled trials and prospective studies have been conducted on breakfast skipping and energy balance. Three acute feeding studies have been published which show equivocal results and do not strongly support an effect of breakfast skipping on variables related to energy balance. Four longer-term studies lasting 2-3weeks have been published and are consistent with the acute feeding trials in that breakfast skipping or eating treatments did not materially impact weight change. Four prospective studies in which participants were followed-up for over 3.7-10years do suggest a potential role of skipping breakfast in weight gain. However, observational studies do not imply causality; therefore, longer term experimental trials are needed before a definitive conclusion can be made concerning the role of breakfast skipping in weight change.

It is impossible to have high levels of insulin in your system while burning fat at the same time. If you eat a meal that has too high of a Glycemic Index, your blood sugar will spike, causing a large release in insulin. During this period of time your body cannot use fat for fuel (even if you are operating under a calorie deficit and even if you workout like crazy). You can get everything else right and not make good progress if you allow your insulin levels to get out of whack.
Protein also spikes insulin.

You like crap don't you...
being trained in nutrition can be done easily...do an online course...
As for your friends who are doctors..ask again as 20 hours is the average (edited for clarity forgot a couple words)
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/health/16chen.html?_r=0But few doctors are prepared to effectively spearhead or even help in those efforts. In the mid-1980s, the National Academy of Sciences published a landmark report highlighting the lack of adequate nutrition education in medical schools; the writers recommended a minimum of 25 hours of nutrition instruction. Now, in a study published this month, it appears that even two and a half decades later a vast majority of medical schools still fail to meet the minimum recommended 25 hours of instruction.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430660/A total of 106 surveys were returned for a response rate of 84%. Ninety-nine of the 106 schools responding required some form of nutrition education; however, only 32 schools (30%) required a separate nutrition course. On average, students received 23.9 contact hours of nutrition instruction during medical school (range: 2–70 h). Only 40 schools required the minimum 25 h recommended by the National Academy of Sciences. Most instructors (88%) expressed the need for additional nutrition instruction at their institutions

So going on this theory as I get woken by my wife to move her at least 5 times during the night does that mean my metabolism slows every time because I don't eat something at those times? If so my metabolism must have stopped but hey haven't I lost a wee bit of weight? Or is it that your body knows that 7am is breakfast time so it's only at that time it needs a 'kickstart'?0
