___17___ It suggests that we should start our day with a big breakfast and follow it with a smaller lunch and a light supper. More research is needed, but a series of experiments in animals and humans have pointed in the same direction: ___18___ “I always tell people not to eat close to bedtime,” said a doctor in the United States. “Try to eat earlier in the day.”
“Having the largest meal in the morning appears to have advantages for weight control compared with having a large meal in the evening,” said one of the researchers. Our body uses insulin(胰岛素) to process the sugars in foods, she explained. The action of the hormone (激素) appears to be at its peak performance early in the day. “If you give a healthy individual a big meal in the morning, the blood glucose(葡萄糖) might stay high one or two hours before coming back to normal,” Dr. Kahleova added. “Now, you give the same big meal to the same healthy individual at night. ___19___” Doctors call this “evening diabetes(糖尿病)”.
Dr. Kahleova said that the message is simple.

But most snacks tend to be highly processed, low in nutrients and high in sugar. They can give you temporary energy, but very quickly you’ll feel hungry again. ___21___
Put it on a plate.
