Fraser argues that regardless of the type of meal, on average, there was weight gain from year to year until participants reached the age of 60. After that, most had experienced weight loss every year.
"Before the age of 60, those who consumed a lot of calories at the start of the day had less weight gain," explains Fraser, adding that after age 60, the same behavior tended to produce a higher percentage of weight loss than the average. All this is linked precisely to the presence of a rich breakfast.
According to Kahleova, the results confirm an ancient nutritional formula: "Eat a king's breakfast, a prince's lunch and a poor man's dinner."
