| Smaller, More Frequent Meals |
| |
There are many health advantages to eating smaller meals at more frequent intervals during day. In addition, when people only eat once or twice each day, their bodies go into 'starvation mode' and try to hold on to calories: When you eat every three or four hours you keep your body from storing as many calories because your body senses that it is going to have a steady supply of food. Eating regularly throughout the day also helps to maintain steady insulin levels. The best way to ensure proper insulin function is by eating smaller meals more frequently that contain the right proportion of nutrients. The most important part to understand about eating more meals is that it is not a license to "pig out". Your goal is to eat smaller meals consisting of nutritious food that will satisfy the needs of your body. Small, frequent meals are suggested to optimize digestion.
