Recently I wrote a post about an investigation that claimed that a protein -rich breakfast was more benefit to diabetics than a poor one.This article that I transcribe below in regards to breakfast is contradictory but mostly defend it.
May each one take it as best for him.

"Fat decreases its waist"
September 27, 21:53 in the Swedish revolution, weight loss studies.
The food revolution in its peak:
Below is an excellent article of the Swedish newspaper run on SBU this week's report show that low carbohydrate diets (HC) are better for weight loss.It is particularly pleasant to see so many comments from Professor Fredrik Nyström, who was a member of the SBU experts.
For Fredrik Nyström the report represents a victory.
- Of course.I've been working with this for so long.It feels very good to have this scientific report, and that skepticism in the face of low carbohydrate diets (HC) among my colleagues has disappeared over the course of the work.When all recent scientific studies are aligned, the result is indisputable: the deep fear of fat is completely unfounded.You do not get the fat of fatty foods, as you do not get calcium atherosclerosis or become green from green vegetables.
The time has come that the health care system to know how to advise patients in a low carbohydrate diet (HC).
Fat of your waist
Butter, olive oil, milk and bacon are not harmful foods.On the contrary.Fat is the best for those who want to lose weight.And there is no connection between high fat consumption and cardiovascular disease.
On Monday by the SBU, the Swedish Council for the evaluation of health technologies, dropped a bomb.After a long two -year investigation, the revision of 16,000 studies, the report "The dietary treatment of obesity", turns conventional dietary guidelines for obese or diabetic dietary.
For a long time, the health system has given the public council to avoid fat, saturated fat, in particular, and calories.A low carbohydrate diet (LCHF - under high fat carbohydrate, is actually an "invention" of Sweden) has been discarded as harmful, a false and as a fashion diet lacking any scientific base.
On the other hand, the health care system has urged diabetics to eat a lot of fruit (= sugar) and low fat products with considerable amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners, the latter a dangerous shot for the person addicted to sugar.
This report returns the current concepts upside down and advocates a low carbohydrate diet (HC) and high fat, such as the most effective weapon against obesity.
The expert committee composed of ten doctors, and several of them were skeptical of low carbohydrates (HC) diets at the beginning of the investigation.
One of them, however, that there has been an enthusiastic defender of saturated fats (butter, natural fat cream, bacon) since 2006, is Professor Fredrik Nyström, Linköping, Sweden, and who has sometimes been despised and mocked in thesame measure as "the mother" of Lchf, Dr. Annika Dahlqvist.
For Fredrik Nyström the report represents a victory.
- Of course.I've been working with this for so long.It feels very good to have this scientific report, and that skepticism against low carbohydrates (HC) diets among my colleagues has disappeared over the courseof the work.When all recent scientific studies are aligned, the result is indisputable: the deep fear of fat is completely unfounded.You do not get the fat of fatty foods, as you do not get calcium atherosclerosis or become green from green vegetables.
Nyström has long defended a very small consumption of foods rich in carbohydrates (HC) high sugar and starch, in order to achieve healthy insulin levels, blood lipids and good cholesterol.This means ending sugar, potatoes, pasta, rice, wheat flour, bread and olive oil that covers, nuts, butter, cream with all fat, fish oil and more fatty meat cuts.
- If you eat potatoes that could also eat sweets.Potatoes contain glucose units in a chain, which becomes sugar in the GI tract.This diet makes blood sugar, and then insulin hormone, which would fire.
On the other hand, this summer, another study on the Mediterranean diet, rich in unsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts), was published, and was part of the base for the SBU report.
- He showed that a low fat diet does more than a high fat diet.The study also advises to drink wine with the Mediterranean diet.I have long stressed that moderate alcohol consumption is beneficial to health and I have done a study that confirmed a better lipid profile in blood from red wine consumption.Therefore, alcohol in moderation is not only right, it is beneficial.
There are many phrases that have taught us to accept as truths:
"Calories are calories, no matter where they come from."
"It's all about the balance between the calories that enter and the calories that come out."
"People are fat because they don't move enough."
"Breakfast is the most important food of the day."
- Of course, these are not true.This type of nonsense has people with weight problems feeling bad about themselves.As if everything were about its lower character.For many people a greater grease intake means that you will feel satiated, be so long, and have less need to eat every five minutes.On the other hand, you will not feel satiated after drinking a Coca-Cola, or after eating almost fat, low-fat fruit yogurt loaded with sugar.Without a doubt, exercise is excellent in many ways, but what really affects weight is diet.
The report states: "Physical activity for obese people has one, in any case, a marginal effect on weight loss."
But what about breakfast?
- If you can - Skip it!This is a usual behavior, the body has no need for food at the time of getting out of bed, if you have eaten a fat -rich meal the day before.We make our own glucose from stored proteins, and it is likely that the expenditure of some calories to produce glucose can be one of the reasons why a low carbohydrates diet provides great weight loss.Also omit snacks and any low fat product.If we were going to chop low -fat food throughout the day, we would not have been equipped with a gallbladder.If you eat two meals a day, with few carbohydrates and a lot of good fats, you will do very well.Do how the Mediterranean peoples.Let a cup of coffee be your breakfast.
One of Sweden's main blogs, Kostdoktorn.se (dietdoctor), is directed by doctor Andreas Eenfeldt.Since 2007 he is a firm supporter of a low carbohydrate diet and a polemicist of how diabetics can greatly reduce their medical intervention needs, or even avoid it completely.
-Diabetics should think in the same way as all other people who suffer from health problems of certain foods: avoid them.Less foods that increase blood sugar causes diabetics to need less medications to reduce blood glucose.
On Monday there were 73,000 visitors to his blog and who marks it as a historic day.
- The SBU report challenges the Swedish health system.It is time to stop giving people with a weight problem advice that has now been demonstrated in the tests that is the worst.
Both he and Fredrik Nyström argue that a paradigmatic change, a health revolution, has to happen.
- The National Food Agency (the USDA equivalent) has long ignored recent research, and this influences many dietitians.This is very annoying.As the SBU report is published by one of our most important government agencies, the health system is almost obliged to follow the SBU report, since it is considered law "until it is refuted." However, how we are going to successfully educateA lot of various "health experts" in the way of recommending less low products in fat, bread and pasta, I really don't know.
