Reader L-S Chang used the "Contact Me" on this website on 2023-10-20 to inquire:
"Hello Professor Lin: The article published on the Good Morning Health website on 2023/10/11 Good Morning Health website strongly advocated the so-called "night honey fat loss method". Want to teach you that this "night honey fat loss method" is a traumatic science? Thank you first."The article sent by this reader is "The doctor loses 25kg by eating honey every day! "The 7 key points of successful weight reduction" were revealed, and the content focus was: "The director of the Japanese Takai Medical Clinic, Yuu Takai, successfully reduced the weight by 25kg with the "night honey weight reduction method", and some people even lost 4.3kg in one month. ……Doctor Yuer Takai explained that the method of losing weight at night honey is to take a tablespoon of honey before going to bed. … The reason why eating honey before going to bed can help lose weight is because honey can improve sleep quality and avoid the relationship that makes people overeat. ……When the public has good sleep quality, it can also allow the growth hormone to be fully secreted and thereby promote fat burning, '
{9 99}First of all, whether it is "the director of the Takai Medical Clinic reduced the weight by 25kg", or "there are even more practical people who lose 4.3kg in one month", they just said that there is no data to prove it.
Again, all health claims, including "improving sleep quality", "avoiding binge eating", "can fully secrete hormones", and "promoting fat burning", are also suspicious.
I have published 14 articles related to honey, two of which are:
2017: The magical health care power of honey? : I quoted many articles from Dr. Jiang Shoushan’s voice on the health effects of honey.
2020: Is honey healthier than sugar?: I quoted Harvey Simon from Harvard University and Evans Whitaker from the University of California, San Francisco, and pointed out that "in terms of ingredients, honey has some small advantages, but whether this means healthier is actually difficult."
I used honey, sleep, and weight loss to do a Google search and found a lot of information to teach people how to use honey to reduce weight. After continuing to trace the results, I found that the source of this fat loss method was a person named Mike McInnes. Information on the Internet shows that he was a pharmacy at Heriot-Watt College in Sugland, but later turned into a self-proclaimed nutritionist. He has never published any scientific papers, but has published three books:
2007: The Hibernation Diet. Content introduction: Eating fructose-rich foods such as honey helps burn fat and increase endurance. He also found that the best time to burn fat is to sleep. Eating honey before bed can activate the body's natural recovery biology, which is promoted by burning fat.
The Honey Diet 2014. Content introduction: Just drink a ton of honey before going to bed every night to provide your body with the correct type and amount of food you need to burn off the excess weight at night; reduce the daytime desire for other "destroyed" sugar; provide golden sleep, deep, long-lasting, dreamy sleep, help you wake up happily and feel refreshed; and help restore your immune system and the natural balance of your body.
2023: Honey Sapiens: Human Cognition and Sugars – The Ugly, the Bad and the Good.
Honey Sapiens in this title is a different word (double-relationship). Homo sapiens is the name given to "human" by classification, and sapiens means "Homo Homo sapiens". Therefore, "Honey Sapiens" is implying that eating honey can make people smart and wise. As expected, the content introduction ends with: "Honey and its biological ketones can support brain function for a long time and protect it from fertilization and sugar degradation."
From these three books, we can see that the so-called "Danjing Medical Clinic Director's Night Honey Weight Loss Method" is just a doctor imitating a person who only has a pharmacy.
In July this year, a related summary article was published, titled A Comprehensive Review of the Effect of Honey on Human Health. Its digest does not mention weight loss or weight loss at all, but there are three clinical studies on weight loss or weight loss in the content, and their results are "honey does not have the effect of weight loss or weight loss."
From this article, we can see that "Night honey-loss method" is 100% sexual science.
