so today let’s answer the question does

skipping your breakfast cause diabetes

or does it cause you to gain weight

okay there’s been quite a few studies

out there that show the link between

skipping a breakfast and we’re sending

your blood sugars or increasing your

risk for diabetes and even gaining more

weight okay guys so there’s a couple

things you really need to know number

one most if not all the studies that

show this link are sponsored by the food

industry surprise and the studies that

are not sponsored by the food industry

do not show this correlation so recently

there was another article published

November 2018 and entitled breakfast

skipping is associated with increased

risk of type 2 diabetes among adults

a systematic review and meta-analysis of

prospective cohort studies and this was

published in the Journal of nutrition so

I just want to kind of go through this

because it’s quite comical okay first

section in conclusion the study

indicated that there is an association

between breakfast skipping and risk of

type 2 diabetes okay the key word is

Association what does association mean

does it mean that it caused anything no

it means it’s a connection only it

doesn’t mean that it caused anything

okay point number two to strengthen the

evidence on this association more

studies are warranted especially from

different geographic locations because

the current evidence came from only the

United States and Asia so if you live

anywhere other than these two locations

all this information doesn’t apply to

you okay next point this was based on a

question here with and without a

validation so you’re just going to ask

people hopefully they’ve remembered and

hopefully they’re telling the truth

alright next point interestingly the

strongest association with type 2

diabetes was observed for the

combination of breakfast skipping and

having a Western diet pattern

among men from the health professionals

follow-up study okay what is the Western

diet pattern that is the sad diet

basically it’s what people eat in the

West which is all refined carbohydrates

and sugars all right so let’s cover the

next point evidence from studies has

shown that high intake of red meat comma

foods with high glycemic index or load

comma and sugar sweetened beverages were

associated with an increased risk of

type 2 diabetes whereas whole-grain

products and coffee consumption were

associated with reduce risk okay guys so

you can see right there they’re not

quite unbiased because they’re telling

you whole grains will decrease the risk

okay guys next point moving right along

there was evidence for publication bias

indicating that small studies with

negative results were missing okay so

you can see right there they’re

basically cherry-picking we’re gonna

show you this correlation but we’re

gonna omit this little piece over here

alright in the last little point I want

to bring up is that there are different

definitions of breakfast skipping among

the different studies which again it

doesn’t keep everything very standard so

you can see guys that this study was

completely filled with holes but there’s

a really interesting paper that I put a

link down below that you have to check

out because it goes into this topic and

how you can manipulate data and there’s

just point after point after point but

go ahead and read this in your spare

time because it’s quite fascinating they

list all the different studies on this

connection between skipping a breakfast

and diabetes skipping breakfast and

weight gain and they basically show you

all the results of the independent

studies that are not sponsored by the

food industry so you can actually see

the true information and guys I just

wanted to bring up the most important

point okay and that is this whether you

consume the breakfast or don’t consume

breakfast has absolutely nothing to do

with whether you’re going to get

diabetes or not why because diabetes is

a disease of what you eat okay

these studies don’t talk about the diet

they’re talking about skipping a

breakfast that’s ridiculous

how can you possibly determine if

someone’s gonna gain weight get diabetes

or have a disease if you don’t know what

is being consumed okay you can’t it’s

impossible it’s illogical you’re

sleeping all night long right you’re

fasting all night long you wake up in

the morning and then you eat breakfast

you actually break the fast that first

meal does not stimulate your metabolism

in some way that helps you lose weight

that’s not what happens

now people who use that and they’ll say

well well I got hungry well that’s

because your blood Sugar’s went up and

then it went down and then you’re gonna

be hungry that is not necessarily

stimulating fat burning it may stimulate

certain enzymes to help you digest but

it has nothing to do with burning fat I

mean there’s two things related to

diabetes number one what you’re

consuming how how many carbohydrates are

you consuming and the data of eating in

general stimulates insulin okay diabetes

is a disease of too much sugar in the

blood so when you eat especially carbs

you’re gonna raise sugar take a diabetic

who’s on insulin for example what

happens when he or she eats they have to

take insulin to reduce this sugar okay

is that improving diabetes no eating

worsens diabetes okay

fasting lowers glucose lowers insulin

there by how big diabetes it helps you

lose weight

it doesn’t worse than anything that’s

illogical and when you combine in a

minute fasting let’s say you’re gonna

now skip breakfast and you’re continuing

to eat a bad diet you you’ve never

adapted so in other words you’re gonna

have a heck of a time getting in the fat

burning because it takes at least three

days for your body to switch over to

burning fat so you can go from one meal

to the next if you’ve never adapted if

you skip breakfast your blood sugars are

gonna go down you’re gonna be really

really hungry grouchy and tired and

you’re gonna eat you’re gonna feel

better

but you’re never gonna fully adapt and

another big problem is that the media

picks up on these studies okay and of

course it’s you know why they’re doing

it the food industry wants to get people

to keep eating the media picks it up and

then it becomes truth and I want to show

you something on that one point all it

seems to take is some association or

some link to make it a fact here’s some

quotations that show breakfast is widely

believed to protect against obesity this

is by dr. oz the fact is when you’re

trying to lose weight you can’t skip

breakfast okay

that’s false information here’s another

by Web MD there’s ample evidence that

the simple act of eating breakfast every

day is a big part of losing weight lots

of weight here’s another one by the US

Surgeon General eating a healthy

breakfast is a good way to start the day

and may be important in achieving and

maintaining a healthy weight here’s one

by John Hopkins

studies show that breakfast can be

important in maintaining a healthy body

weight here’s another one by Mayo Clinic

in fact skipping breakfast actually

increases your risk of obesity and of

course the Academy of Nutrition and

Dietetics want to trim your waist try

eating breakfast alright guys in summary

association does not mean cause we are

being hit from every angle of research

data being manipulated and camouflaged

as this credible evidence-based science

so in the future if you see something

like this get the study read it yourself

before you accept it as an actual fact
