Eating more meals in a day can help you from overeating. This might seem contradictory, but let me explain.
Eat smaller meals, more often throughout the day. About 5 or 6 meals should be good. The goal during this is to never be hungry, but at the same time never really full. Have a portion of protein and carbohydrate (a portion being about the size of your fist) at each meal, and eat all of the vegetables you want all day.
People that eat when they are hungry are the ones that tend to overeat. This is one reason why this works. After a while of eating like this your stomach will "shrink" because of the small meals, which will make it hard to eat more than you need.
I LOVE THIS. have i told you that your posts change my life every time i read them? there was one awhile back about losing weight=energy intake less than energy output or some fancy equation like that and i think about it all the time. and i am totally going to recommitt myself to eating 5/6 small meals every day.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! It is great to be reminded of these things. I always know that a lot of meals throughout the day is good. Thanks for the reminder!
