According to Adele Davis book, Many studies have been done on breakfast and blood sugar People who eat breakfast are significantly less likely to be obese and diabetic than those who usually don’t, researchers reported today at the American Heart Association’s 43rd Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention.

The reason is that one's blood sugar stays up at optimum levels throughout the day only when enough protein is eaten at breakfast.
What is "enough"? In Adelle's judgment, an average-size person should have about 60 grams of protein a day, and about 1/3rd of that at breakfast. That's at least 20 grams.





The meal furnishing 55 grams of protein sustained a high level of energy and a high metabolism for six hours afterward.

The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council recommends the following amounts of protein, in grams, daily Adults children
Men -- 70 1-3 – 40
4-6 – 50

Over 12 Years
Girls 13-15 -- 80
Women -- 60
Girls 16-20 -- 75 Pregnancy -- 85
Boys 13-15 -- 85 Lactation -- 100
Boys 16-20 -- 100


These figures, , are generally considered to be too low. If you wish to maintain your attractiveness, vigor, and youthfulness as long as is humanly possible, it is probably wise to eat considerably more protein than the Board recommends and/or to count only the grams of adequate protein you eat. Whenever the diet has been deficient in protein for some time, an intake of 150 grams or more daily is probably advisable for a month or more. Such large amounts are also needed in the treatment of various disease conditions.
