To lose weight, eat breakfast at 11 a.m.

Should you skip breakfast to lose weight? According to Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London, he would have to be pushed back and wait until 11 a.m. to achieve his goals. Coupled with a balanced diet, this simple reflex can allow you to lose between 2 and 5 kilos over the months. He presented the results of his research at the Cheltenham Science Festival.

Reach 14 hours of fasting

Why wait to subsist? According to the specialist, this would be a way to reach 14 hours after the last meal the day before. A method called “fasting” or “intermittent young person”.

To reach this conclusion, the specialist followed the eating habits of a tribe, the Hadza, mainly based in Tanzania. These hunter-gatherers take their last meal of the day between 8 and 9 p.m. Their first meal of the day is between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m., or 2 p.m. later.

Fight against snacking

The specialist notices that Europeans dine later and later. “There are still people, especially in the north of England, who eat earlier, but in general we have come closer to continental eating habits, eating dinner much later like people in Spain and Italy. Even those who don’t may end up snacking until 9 p.m., making it difficult to achieve a 14-hour fasting period.There is a simple change people can make, by moving their breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.he explains to DailyMail.
