Chrono-nutrition is all about respecting our biorhythms and feeding ourselves according to our bodies' production of enzymes and hormones. This means that in the mornings, our bodies produce lipases, greedy enzymes which eat up fats. So you need to replenish your fat stores at breakfast time, but don't go overboard! Forget the fry-up and go for a German breakfast of 70g bread, with about 100g cheese. At midday, protease and amylase enzymes are released, to process proteins, sugars and starches, which is why it makes sense to choose lean meat and carbohydrates at lunchtime. Your mid-afternoon slump is also biologically programmed. Scientists have identified a sugar craving around this time, for which they recommend sugar and animal fat, revolutionary news which will be music to the ears of chocolate lovers everywhere. At the end of the day you will find your body winding down, and producing less digestive enzymes, so a light evening meal of fish and green vegetables is perfect. Eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunchtime and a papuer in the evening and you can't go wrong.
