Six meals a day diet
Six meals a day sounds
strange to anyone wanting to lose weight but it actually has
some valid reasons for working.
Bodybuilders
discovered long ago that feeding the body every three hours
helped them to stay lean, nourished, and speed metabolism.
Nowadays dieters are starting to catch on to the six meals a
day diet.
Here are some of the
advantages of the six meals a day diet:
Stay satisfied.
By eating a small, nutritious meal every three hours you are
less likely to become so hungry that you sabotage your diet.
When you do start to feel hungry, you normally only have to
wait a half hour or so before your scheduled eating time.
Most diets have you waiting until evening to eat a real meal
– that is a long time to wait!
Speed metabolism.
Conventional wisdom tells us that when you follow a
restrictive diet; your body slows down in anticipation of
less calories and nutrients. Conversely, when you supply
your body with a flow of healthy foods on a regular schedule
– the body has no need to slow down and try to conserve.
Learn portion
control. The six meals a day diet has you eating small
nutritious meals throughout the day. By eating these small
meals every 3 hours or so; you naturally train yourself in
portion control. You won’t feel over stuffed or have that
normal after eating lethargic feeling that comes when you
overeat.
I personally like to
work a meal replacement powdered shake or meal replacement
candy bar in once or twice per day. These are convenient,
highly nutritious, and low fat meals that will easily leave
you feeling satisfied for about three hours.
I try to get a protein
source and a raw fruit or vegetable in for each of my meals.
Because of the growing popularity of the six meals a day
diet; you are likely to see all sorts of books and such
coming out with different variations of this eating plan.
One of my favorite
sources for more information is the “burn the fat feed the
muscle” ebook. (Sometimes known as bffm) Remember that the
six meals a day diet was being done by bodybuilders’ way
before the mainstream diet world caught on to it. Tom Venuto
is a bodybuilder that knows how to help people lose fat.
