When trying to lose weight by eating 4-6 meals how much time should there be between meals? |
Weight loss options and approaches.
Answer
Every 2-3 hours should be a good goal. Think of it this way, 3 small "meals" with snacks in between, so it all depends on what time you wake up, eat lunch, etc. Since you already realize the benefit of eating frequently, make sure that the foods you eat are also low glycemic. Stay away from white bread, white pasta, white potatoes (especially mashed), and if you do eat these, eat them toward the end of the meal. To determine if a food is low glycemic, it should have at least half the amount of fiber as it has sugar. This is much more technical, and can be better explained in the book Releasing Fat by Dr. Ray Strand. We have changed our eating habits and in less than a week I lost 3 pounds. Most importantly, it was the LAST three pounds to get back to my pre-baby weight. And that is the hardest to lose. But it was very easy! Good luck!
Answer
It also depends on how fast it digests. Eating a lot of fiber is not only a good tip for stimulating your digestion, but it also slows digestion. When you're hungry a lot, your body will act as in a crisis situation and slows down the burning of calories. So just don't get (too) hungry. Listen to your body and eat wisely.
