HEAT: Meal frequency and thermogenesis

Abstract

The study of nutrition is one of the few areas in which ideas and concepts formulated by scientists and clinicians may have immediate impact, through the media, upon the knowledge, behaviour and habits of the populace. This effect has been evident recently in the gradual rediscovery of the advantages of breast‐feeding, dietary fibre and in the possible problems of overfeeding young infants. The resurgence of interest in the possible importance of thermogenic mechanisms in regulating energy balance may have similar impact in forthcoming years.
