Healthy Eating Ideas in times of Covid-19 coronavirus

You have just described yourself Matty Boy.

Complete bluffle from yourself

Thanks for the support there Oss. I wouldn’t expect anything else from Matty Boy.

Low and behold after mentioning Tim Spector under the same breath as Dr JohnCampbell todays Torygraph * features an article by him on the subject of breakfast. I must admit I used to believe that an army marched on its stomach and certainly a full 12 hour shift on a drilling rig commenced with a big breakfast but I have come to understand why perhaps we shouldn’t be so quick to break our fast.


“Breakfast should only be eaten after 11am, an expert has said.

Waiting a few hours before eating anything after waking up is better for staying healthy and shedding excess pounds, according to nutrition expert Tim Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King’s College London.

That is because most people now eat dinner much later in the evening than previous generations, and only stop eating around 9pm the night before.

Therefore, an 11am breakfast is the best way for a person to achieve 14 hours of fasting overnight, which growing evidence suggests is best for the metabolism.

Prof Spector told an audience at Cheltenham Science Festival: “If you have a later breakfast, that will give you some benefits.

“I think we have to rethink all the things we have been told are unhealthy, because there’s just so much new science coming out.”

Shift your first meal to late morning
Speaking after the talk, he said: “There are still people, particularly in the north of England, who eat earlier, but generally we have moved towards continental eating habits, having dinner much later like people in Spain and Italy.

“Even those who don’t do that may end up snacking up until 9pm, making it difficult to achieve a 14-hour fasting period.

“There is a simple change people can make by shifting their breakfast from 8am to 11am, which actually is more effective than more fashionable fasting diets like 5:2.”

Intermittent fasting is a popular dieting technique where a person can eat whatever they want within a specific time period every day.

However, there has been much debate over its effectiveness and at what time of the day a person should eat and when they should stop.

A recent study found stopping eating earlier in the day, at 3pm, is more effective than eating into the evening, with people losing three pounds more over a five-week period.

But modern lifestyles can make this impossible, with long work hours and hefty commutes pushing tea time later into the evening.

And Prof Spector says this needs to be taken into account, and the compromise is that breakfast must be delayed and converted into more of a brunch than a meal at the crack of dawn.

Gut microbes need a rest
“Fasting for 14 hours a day, using a later breakfast, but overall eating the same amount, is easier to achieve long term,” he said.

“It works because the microbes in our gut have a circadian rhythm like us and need a rest period.

“Studies suggest a later breakfast to achieve 14 hours of fasting could help people to lose four to 11 pounds of weight over several months of doing it.

“Their microbes essentially become more efficient at burning food.”

The expert said people who feel ravenous in the mornings, or fear becoming light-headed without an earlier breakfast, are likely to quickly adapt to a new routine.

Prof Spector is co-creator of the ZOE app which was used to help track Covid in the community, but also inspects a person’s gut bacteria to find out what foods and diets would likely work best for them.

For example, he says in his book Spoon-Fed: Why Almost Everything We’ve Been Told About Food Is Wrong, some people gain weight if they eat breakfast, with the morning consumption particularly treacherous to their waistline.

On breakfast, Prof Spector added: “We know from our studies that everyone is different, and some people respond differently to high-carb and high-fat breakfasts, so it is important to understand that as well.””


* Currently I subscribe to the Torygraph. This doesn’t make me a raving Tory. I do find some good articles in it though. This is one.

Clearly retrospective

No one's looking to condemn the guy.

Just saying like.

I introduced name boy think your own up sonny

Or if you prefer the Daily Mail

Immunity and metabolic health. I did post on this a number of times and it drew some negativity. The notion being that if you eat the right food you build up your immunity to Covid etc etc. I posted a book on here on this written and published at the height of the pandemic. The most significant point being that vaccinations need only be given to the vulnerable that include the metabolically challenged and not necessarily the eldest. Here is a video on the topic.

On Tim Spector’s work. “This could end up being a health tool that could replace primary care – your own personal log of symptoms, diseases, lifestyle factors and the quality of your diet.”

Book of the Week. Philip Ovadia is a Heart Surgeon. He knows a trick or two on the topic…

It looks like an excellent project. There are a lot of good things happening in this field right now. Including The Lifestyle Club. It’s been on trial by the NHS in Bristol recently. This very recently released video describes its aims etc:





There is a lot of good work from a large number of sources and it’s starting to knit together. Just needs the government to hop on board in a meaningful way.

Counter metabolic syndrome and counter covid. No need for the jab.

Dr. John Campbell's YouTube channel is excellent

I tested positive on wednesday..been really ill with it. I just made a cooked breakfast..now totally shattered..like ive done a days hard labour.

I tested positive a few weeks ago also, bigmac.
It was mild flu-like symptoms but I knew something was wrong when I was walking through Tesco and I felt very strange and told my wife how I felt too.

It was almost like an out-of-body experience.

We are all vaccinated to the max in our family - the kids had their second jab last week.
I believe in the vaccinations, hence our family is up-to-date with them.

Your Covid-19 symptoms seem a lot worse than mine.
