Don't Skip Breakfast

I regularly emphasize the importance of proper timing of meals in controlling weight, blood glucose and cholesterol levels among other health benefits. 

The maxim: 'Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.'  acquires increased relevance in our modern society afflicted by the scourge of chronic degenerative illness we have come to label 'the metabolic syndrome'.

I published on the application of chrononutrition principles to diabetes mellitus management in 2018: 
Diabetes Spectrum 2018 Jul; ds180014.  https://doi.org/10.2337/ds18-0014

I recently viewed a very interesting video supportive of this message published by Dr. Michael Greger in his Nutrition Facts video series. You will find his message highly informatve.

With increasing awareness of the importance of meal timing in our health, the metabolic syndrome may soon be known as 'The Circadian Syndrome'.
