Brad: Why Breakfast Is Making A Comeback For Your Active, Energetic Lifestyle
“Breakfast is the important meal of the day,” according to decades-long conventional wisdom—however, this notion has been slammed in recent years along with the rise of the Ancestral health movement. But now, breakfast is coming back in style for many reasons—especially for healthy, active folks looking to pursue peak performance and avoid disease and delay aging. Listen to this episode to learn about the benefits of eating breakfast, why the morning hours are the most opportune time to consume calories, why certain people should still consider partaking in fasting for health benefits, why skipping breakfast or eating low-carb can be too stressful for certain people, how to treat an “energy toxicity” problem, and much more! TIMESTAMPS: Breakfast is making a comeback after being derided in the ancestral movement. [00:44] What is important is understanding how to consume the right foods for your activities during the day. [02:03] Consume fewer nutrient deficient calories because that is the main culprit causing metabolic function problems. [05:28] If you simply eliminate processed foods, you can’t get fat. (Lustig) [06:39] The idea that too many eggs will give you a heart attack has been disproven. [08:47] For many years, Brad would skip breakfast. Now he has done a complete about face. [09:37] Fruit provides easy-to-digest calories, good all year around. [11:31] A large number of genes associated with energy utilization are under circadian control. [15:21] Break your fast in the morning emphasizing protein. A recent study showed that 78% of the people in the study who ate breakfast every day, lost weight and kept it off long-term. [19:58] Weigh yourself every day. [23:15] It is easy to add excess body fat when eating non-nutritional processed foods. [26:24] Brad’s motto is: perform, recover, perform, recover. Don’t forget keto is a stress mechanism. [30:24] Brad talks about his recent fasting as a result of having COVID. [35:41] Make a concerted effort to consume the most nutritious foods.
