What is the 30-30-30 method for weight loss — and is it safe?
A new weight loss and exercise regimen called the 30-30-30 rule has gone viral for its supposed fast track to weight loss and blood sugar control.
In this method, a person eats 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up and right before doing a 30-minute low-intensity practice. New study also shows that the best time to work out to lose weight is during the two hours between 7 and 9 a.m.
Tim Ferriss's book "The 4-Hour Body" introduced the "30" idea. Fitness expert Gary Brecka made it more famous, and Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White praised him for making his life much healthier.
"I wouldn't say you have to eat breakfast in the first 30 minutes after waking up." In general, I would say to eat breakfast within a few hours.
Lead trained dietitian at the Mayo Clinic Tara Schmidt said, "Not everyone can stomach food that early." She also said, "Having 30 grams of protein is good for you."
It says that you should eat 0.8 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight, which is 0.36 grams per pound. That's 54 grams for someone who weighs 150 pounds.
