Your metabolism could care less about the latest book you read.

Your metabolism could care less about the latest book you read, guru you follow or study you analyzed. It is unique and does what it does. Your job is to figure that out & begin working with it, not against it

Which of these two breakfasts are the “healthiest” & best option for weight loss? Which is better for people?

Choice #1= Bacon & Eggs.

Choice #2= oatmeal & raisins?

If you came up in the 80’s you may choose oatmeal. If you follow trends today you will likely choose bacon and eggs. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, you want the oatmeal. If you are paleo or primal you will select the bacon & eggs. If you were following the books & gurus 20 years ago you will take oatmeal. If you follow the books, blogs, gurus of today you will prefer bacon & eggs. If you let research guide you, you will choose one or the other based on the latest study.

The idea that there is one way everyone should eat is asinine. Every human is different metabolically, psychologically & in their personal preferences. Whether oatmeal or bacon is better depends on your unique physiology.

When trying to determine this for yourself, think about two things. What is the calorie load of each meal & what is it’s calorie suppressing potential? For example perhaps the bacon & eggs is 400 calories but as a result of eating it you feel full quickly & stay full for many hours. As a result, at the end of the day, you end up consuming 300 calories less than you would have otherwise.

Now consider the oats have 300 calories, but as a result of eating them you are NOT satisfied and remain hungry with cravings. As a result you end up consuming an extra 600 calories over your body’s needs.

Depending on the individual, one of these meals might suppress future calorie intake or not. How much you eat, & what you crave, is directly influenced by what you ate or did not eat at past meals. Choices at one meal are influenced by choices at your last meal. The right choice depends. It may be oats or it may be bacon.

Once you give up the notion some foods are better than others for all people, you can finally focus on determining what foods are right for you. #nextlevelmetabolism #diet #weightloss
