About this listen

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but only if we skip it.

Since Victorian times, we have been told to breakfast like kings and dine like paupers. In the wake of his own type 2 diabetes diagnosis, Professor Terence Kealey was given the same advice. He soon noticed that his glucose levels were unusually high after eating first thing in the morning. But if he continued to fast until lunchtime they fell to a normal level. Professor Kealey began to question how much evidence there was to support the advice he’d been given, and whether there might be an advantage for some to not eating breakfast after all.

Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal asks:

  • What is the reliable scientific and medical evidence for eating breakfast?
  • Why do people suppose that eating breakfast reduces the total amount of food they consume over the day, when the opposite is true?
  • Who should consider intermittent fasting by removing breakfast from their daily routine?
  • From weight loss to reduced blood pressure, what are the potential benefits of missing breakfast?

Well researched

The book is very readable, well researched and overall very enjoyable. Author looks at the topic from broad perspective and every angle and builds on many research.
As for the core message. I feel more and more people start to see how many lies we were fed and there is no shortage of lies in the field of nutrition.

Sadly the book is written a biased doctor

Whether breakfast is a dangerous meal or not is impossible to say after reading this book. The author is sadly biased as to the "wonders" if a low carbohydrate diet. Halfway through the book he has managed to parade myth after myth about the glory of fat in the diet. E. G. The Masai have nearly no heart disease. (They do. ) Ansel Keys was wrong. (He wasn't) Sugar consumption has increased. (It's been steadily decreasing the last 20 years). and so on.
