Recent research and initiatives have focused on the relationship between dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and weight control. In Croatia, the ‘Vrtim Zdravi Film’ initiative introduced ‘NutriPorcija doručka’, a visual tool developed with nutritionist Dr. Darija Vranešić Bender to help parents provide balanced breakfasts for children. Concurrently, a Johns Hopkins University study published in the journal Obesity suggested that time-restricted eating within a 10-hour window can facilitate weight loss without specific calorie reduction. Further studies have highlighted the impact of sleep on metabolic health. Research published in JAMA Internal Medicine indicated that increasing sleep by an average of 1.2 hours per night may reduce daily calorie intake by approximately 270 kcal. ~~Additionally, findings suggest~~ Regarding meal timing, research indicates that skipping breakfast is not a definitive method for long-term weight loss, as management depends on the total daily balance of energy intake versus expenditure. While skipping breakfast can influence hunger and energy levels differently among individuals, success often depends on an individual’s ability to recognize satiety signals. Additionally, oats have been identified as a versatile option for weight management. Due to their fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrate content—specifically the soluble fiber beta-glucan—consuming oats in the evening may help curb cravings for sweets or high-calorie snacks by promoting satiety. However, long-term weight loss remains primarily dependent on total energy intake and expenditure rather than the specific timing of carbohydrate consumption.
