A new study published online today in the British Journal of Nutrition found that timing of dietary protein intake affects feelings of fullness throughout the day. The study concluded that when people ate high-quality protein foods, from sources such as eggs and lean Canadian bacon, for breakfast they had a greater sense of sustained fullness throughout the day compared to when more protein was eaten at lunch or dinner (i).

“There is a growing body of research which supports eating high-quality protein foods when dieting to maintain a sense of fullness,” said Wayne W. Campbell, PhD, study author and professor of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University.

A healthy diet is crucial to the detoxification process. It can be achieved by abstaining from animal products, sugar, alcohol and fat, and replacing them by organic fruits, nuts, wheats and vegetables.

An excellent way to kick off the detoxification process every morning, while giving your body all the nutrition it needs, is Dr. Kousmine’s breakfast.

Doctor Catherine Kousmine (1904-1992), has devoted her life to medical research in Switzerland with special interest in the effects of food on overall health, and cancer and disease prevention. The diet she recommends is rich in cereals, raw food and essential fatty acids, and has thousands of faithful health-conscious followers around the world.

Today marks the first week of my diet. And the changes are remarkable.

It was a tough job not to eat after 7:30 PM every single night, and the first couple of days were really a challenge. My eating pattern has changed remarkably and definitely for the better. I now eat a big breakfast with my food intake tapering down to 7:30PM. I now know where to find a good breakfast before work, or which restaurant has the best low carb meal for the balance of afternoon.

I didnt break too many of the rules each day. I only have 5 easy achievable ones anyway.
