33岁的澳大利亚酒吧经理卡伊拉·斋藤为备战世界级调酒师大赛，采取了延迟进食的饮食模式，每天第一餐在下午4点进行[1]。她将在10月代表澳大利亚参加在苏格兰举办的Diageo World Class Global Finals[1]。
对于这一做法，营养师乔安娜·麦克米兰表示，"你的饮食方案中最大的风险不在吃什么，而在什么时候吃"[1]。她指出，长时间不进食会影响专注力、肌肉恢复和能量补充[1]。麦克米兰建议制作早餐平滑饮料可在途中饮用，同时全天补充营养小食，以维持更稳定的能量和营养供应[1]。
Kayla Saito, a 33-year-old bar manager, has adopted a delayed eating pattern in preparation for the World Class Bartender Competition, consuming her first meal of the day at 4pm [1]. She will represent Australia at the Diageo World Class Global Finals in Scotland in October [1].
Dietitian Dr Joanna McMillan has weighed in on Saito's regimen, noting that while her food choices are sound, the timing poses concerns [1]. "The biggest risk in your regimen isn't what you're eating, it's when," McMillan stated [1]. The extended fasting period can compromise focus, muscle recovery, and energy replenishment throughout the day, according to the dietitian's assessment [1].
McMillan recommended Saito adjust her eating schedule and incorporate nutrient-dense snacks across the day [1]. She specifically suggested starting with "a breakfast smoothie...so you can drink it on the move" to better fuel her preparation for the competition [1].
