Forget egg whites and granola, a new study study from the University of Alabama is embracing fat, fat, fat! Researchers from the University of Alabama found that a high fat breakfast may be the best way to prevent metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, insulin resistance and other cardiovascular disease-risk factors.
The research showed that mice who started the day out with high fat meals had normal metabolisms, while the mice who ate fattier, carbohydrate heavy meals later in the day gained weight and developed diabetes.
"Studies have looked at the type and quantity of food intake, but nobody has undertaken the question of whether the timing of what you eat and when you eat it influences body weight, even though we know sleep and altered circadian rhythms influence body weight," said the study's lead author Molly Bray, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology in the UAB School of Public Health.
