No bread for me, at all.

Check. For years, I never ate breakfast and for the past 20 years I've
been in the habit of eating it. Guess during which years I put weight

Recently, I discovered by only having a tiny breakfast of a simple

I told you that by eating even a small breakfast, you turn of the
switch for burning fat. A very stupid thing to do.

Also not true. The body alters the ratio between consuming fat and
consuming carbohydrates depending upon its activities, but it does not
simply switch fat consumption on and off. Not that it really matters;
while you can control whether your body is consuming fat or consuming
carbohydrates by the way you exercise, all that is ultimately important
for losing weight is to use more calories than you consume.

simply because they are professors.

His book is based on knowledge gained during 100 years of
breeding pigs at Norwegian University of Life Sciences, Norway.

His specialities appear to be the nutrition of chickens and fish.
