Best Strength

Take care not to follow out-dated thinking when it comes to the optimal way to lose weight. A lot of people don’t keep up with modern research, for instance: Many of us feel guilty eating food between our meals because we’ve always been told that’s what puts on the weight. Is that actually the case?

We’ve been brought up to believe that three square meals is the most health conscious way to eat. Recent research though might indicate that we get better weight loss when we eat more often. How much confidence can we have that this will work?

Won’t sitting down to eat more often lead to a weight increase? Long spaces between meals make us feel as though we’re getting somewhere with our diet. In actual fact that’s not the case.

We often get really hungry if we have long gaps between each meal. So when eventually we do pick up the knife and fork, our craving is significant. This in turn can lead to us eating more than we would otherwise have done. An especially vulnerable meal for this is the evening meal. So a few hours before we go to bed, we’ve filled our body full of food.

Alternatively, by consuming a meal 6 times at frequent intervals, we always feel satiated. Over time, our body ‘knows’ that food intake can be relied upon. It can then process food through our digestive system more effectively.

The body hangs on to fat when it doesn’t get regular food, and allows it to build up around areas such as the waistline. So we end up keeping the weight on even though we go through long periods without any food!

It’s much easier to get more calories sooner (without over-eating) if we have small frequent meals. Then there’s much more chance the food will be processed efficiently, and not left to add to our weight. It is also much harder to keep a check on what we eat when we start a meal feeling famished.

With a rapacious appetite, we long for the ‘heaviest’ of foods. It’s the fries, pizzas, pasta and breads that appeal to us the most. They hit the spot momentarily, but will not help us to lose any weight. To wrap this up, if we do not go very long between each (small) meal, we will not get desperately hungry, but we will lose weight more effectively.
