Unpacking the TikTok-Viral 30-30-30 Method
A recent health trend on TikTok, the 30-30-30 rule promises to improve blood sugar management, weight loss, and energy levels. But does it actually work?
The 30-30-30 rule, popularized by biologist Gary Brecka on TikTok, involves eating 30 grams of protein within the first 30 minutes after waking up, followed by 30 minutes of steady-state cardiovascular exercise. Experts weigh in on the trend's potential benefits and risks, including registered dietitians Christy Brissette, Scott Keatley, and Karen Ansel. While some nutritionists see promise in the rule, others express skepticism about its specific recommendations.
