Recipes Healthy Breakfast; Overnight oats.

[Jeanette]

I'm not sure fasting for weight loss is any better than a diet. If you are serious about weight loss and keeping it off you need a change in habits that you can maintain.

Intermittent fasting and long term fasting might have other health benefits.

Fad diets may work for a few months, but a balanced eating plan is necessary for life if you are going to keep your weight off

...and exercise

I can picture it now. Wednesday evening. Hordes of England Football fans, gathered round a big TV set in a Health Food Cafe. Downing bowls of Kim Chi and Pickled Gherkins, throwing their pickle juice in the air when England score, then off to climb on to Bus shelters, dribbling Vinegar down their retro England tops..

No vinegar, fermented not pickled!

Bircher muesli... is that a name for overnight oats?

Very popular with my guts

Very similar. That's what got us into overnight oats. The liquid used in it is apple juice.

It's all about getting the microbiome healthy. Getting the balance in favour of the good bacteria not the bad ones.

 

[Ivan]

Ah I didn't know apple juice was key to bircher

Milk and yoghurt does me

They sell packs of Bircher. No Apple in sight.

"They"??????

Name these shadowy figures

It's all very simple. If calories in exceeds calories out, there will be storage. The input portal is larger than the output portal so caution is recommended. (Ha! Cleaned that up.)

You add it yourself.

I think it probably is

I keep seeing the thread title as ‘Healthy Breakfast Overnight Cats’

Beware Targa mmmm

I
I think it probably is

I'm not convinced it is for a whole host of reasons, some addressed here:

Why “Calories in, Calories out” Doesn't Tell the Whole Story

And think about all those people that go on calorie restricted diets and lose the weight but then when they stop it all goes back with more.

Also consider how emotions can impact on eating

Depends. Calories in is always higher. You need to factor in burn rate. And some calories are irrelevant like cellulose.

I had a quick read, I've never heard of thermodynamics being related to food,. I presume my calorie intake must be greater than the caroriies I burn as i feel as though I am getting heavier, I don't weigh myself and I've never counted a calorie in or out, I do push ups pull ups and Squats, muscle burns fat and a strong core is essential as one gets older

...and exercise

I have run a few marathons.....50 miles a week training meant I ate like a horse and lost weight every time. Mrs D said I looked dreadful. She can make the word "gaunt" sound remarkably scathing.

No vinegar, fermented not pickled!

My imaginary Football fans are not afraid of mixing fermentation with pickling. They are hard core!

Though Vinegar itself is the product of fermentation.

Unless it's the old "non brewed condiment" some residue from coal tar production.

...and exercise

I disagree ... Food is way more important than exercise for maintaining a good weight.
I don't exercise and never have!
