You've no doubt heard that it's better to eat many small meals throughout the day, than to go all day without eating and then gorging yourself on dinner in the evening. But did you ever wonder why?
The fact is, your body can only process about 350 calories every 90 minutes. Eat more than that, and you're most likely overloading your digestive system. If your body cannot use all the fuel you provide it at any given time, it will use what it can, and then store the rest as body fat. It assumes, through thousands of years of participation, that there will be lean times when it will need those fat reserves for fuel. But in this modern age, we, thankfully, seldom face those rangy times.
Because of this, if we're to keep our weight from spiraling out of control, we must, by choice limit our quantities of food, as well as the kinds of food.
So, how do we use this information in losing weight? Simple. Eat light, but eat often. There are many benefits to this strategy. First, you're only providing your body what it needs, when it needs it. Second, you're able to better maintain a consistent sanguine sugar level, and so you're not left feeling whacked all day.
And by making certain wise and healthful choices, you'll find the 350 calorie limit can be quite filling. Make poor choices, however, and you'll be withdrawn feeling unsatisfied. So make sure to choose healthful fruits & vegetables and limit your intake of breads & cereals. Also, when including meat in the diet, choose only healthful, low fat fish & fowl.
This one simple tip, if practiced faithfully, will help you achieve your weight loss goals.
