Calorie expert explains how to burn fat and keep it off with simple breakfast method

A calorie expert has shared his top tip for burning fat - and keeping it off - by making a simple breakfast and dinner swap. Speaking to podcast host Steven Bartlett on popular YouTube channel 'Diary Of A CEO', University of Cambridge professor and molecular geneticist Giles Yeo explained what those hoping to lose weight should consider doing during their morning routine to melt fat.

Discussing his 'eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a pauper at dinner' method, the expert revealed that consuming more at dinner than at breakfast isn't the way forward to getting rid of fat. Yeo actually says it is much better to get the most of your calorie intake at breakfast time and to eat less during the evening.

According to research, dieters who have their biggest meal at breakfast and smallest for dinner are nearly ten per cent slimmer than people who do the opposite. Yeo says our metabolism has evolved to be at its most active during the daytime, meaning our bodies work more effectively to burn fuel – or food – then and are less likely to store excess calories as fat.
