Dr. Hana Kahleova is our special guest in this episode of the Plant-Based Canada Podcast!
Dr. Kahleova is director of clinical research for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She has conducted several clinical trials, using a plant-based diet in the treatment of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease. Her research showed that a plant-based diet leads to a greater weight loss and improvement in metabolism, and addresses multiple mechanisms behind diabetes.
Her research proved that eating a large breakfast and lunch is more beneficial than eating six smaller meals a day for patients with type 2 diabetes. Her research on meal frequency and timing showed that eating less frequently, no snacking, consuming breakfast, and eating the largest meal in the morning may be effective methods for preventing long-term weight gain.
As a member of the American Diabetes Association and as a board member of the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group, Dr. Kahleova is directly involved in the process of updating the nutritional recommendations for patients with diabetes.
