The 30-30-30 method is causing a stir online. Is it true that it helps improve health as rumored?

More and more new healthy living trends are spreading online. The 30-30-30 method is one such trend.

Whether you want to increase your fitness or lose weight sustainably, there are many life-changing methods you can use. But when you start implementing, those methods become infeasible or difficult to implement. And so it will be pushed aside and your good intentions will be destroyed as well.

But the creator of the 30-30-30 method says it's a game changer.

What is the 30-30-30 method?

According to the British newspaper Mirror, the 30-30-30 method was initiated by Gary Brecka , a human biologist in the US. The 30-30-30 method involves eating 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up and then doing low-intensity exercise for 30 minutes. But does this really help your health?

Eggs are a food rich in high-quality protein.

What do medical experts say about the 30-30-30 method?

Edwina Clark, an American nutritionist and health care expert, told HuffPost: "More and more studies show that combining a high-protein diet with exercise helps improve fat mass and control sugar levels. blood pressure, inflammation, physical activity, and cardiovascular health indicators such as triglycerides and total cholesterol, especially in obese people."

Edwina Clark, American nutritionist and health care expert.

Protein "requires more energy to metabolize than fats and carbohydrates," so you may feel fuller if you eat protein because it takes longer to metabolize. "Some evidence suggests that eating a high-protein breakfast in the morning may assist in controlling hunger and cravings throughout the day," explains Edwina .

Additionally, you should also choose healthy protein sources . Eating sausage can be a good source of protein, but when compared to eggs and some types of Greek yogurt, it's clear that the latter option is healthier.

Edwina suggests eating high-quality protein in the morning , such as Greek yogurt, eggs, and nut butters, which "can help fill you up and energize your brain and body for the day ahead, especially when combined with fiber-rich carbohydrates."

When it comes to when to eat , it doesn't necessarily mean eating within 30 minutes of waking up , but it's more important that 30 grams of protein be consumed in the morning as part of breakfast.

And when it comes to exercise, 30 minutes of low-intensity exercise can be really beneficial, as the UK National Health Service (NHS) recommendation on exercise is that "adults should try to be active". every day and aim to be physically active for at least 150 minutes a week, through a variety of activities."

Walking is one of the low-intensity physical activities.

According to the NHS, adults should aim to:

1. Do strengthening activities for all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms) at least 2 days a week.
2. Do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week.
3. Spread the exercises out over 4 to 5 days a week or every other day.
4. Reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of inactivity with some activity.

Disadvantages of the 30-30-30 method

However, there are some downsides to the 30-30-30 method, as American nutritionist Elizabeth Huggins points out . This method does not take into account someone's "needs or goals" and may not work for some people's "schedules or preferences."

Huggins also emphasized that Gary Brecka's website states that he is not a medical expert. Gary encourages people to seek medical advice from a health professional - so it's probably best to speak to your GP if you're looking to make lifestyle changes.
