The Fallacy Of Eating Three Full Meals Daily In A Weight Loss, Fat Burning Program

Are you the individual who is seeking to lose weight and burn fat through a diet program

? If so I commend you at least on your effort in becoming a healthier person. However there is one further ideal that you need to understand. The notion of eating three full meals spread throughout the day often will result in your failing to achieve your weight loss goal.

As a society, particularly in America there has always been the notion that only eating three square meals per day would help maintain your body's physique as it should. Even better, it was thought that following the inverse pyramid eating plan where your breakfast was the largest meal, then lunch and the smallest meal being dinner would satisfy the body's food intake requirement. Both now are thought to be a fallacy and here is why.

At any one meal we as a society eat entirely too much food at a setting. We sometimes eat past the point where our stomachs can handle the amount of food as it goes through the entire digestive process. This fact does not even take into account that many products contain bad fat, which unfortunately are consumed with each meal. It is beyond question that eating food at the breakfast setting provides the body with fuel and energy to start each day. But, although it is the most important meal of the day what you consume at breakfast should not be of the large quantity that many human beings mistakenly put into their systems daily.

The problem with tapering off with each successive meal throughout the day, (the inverse pyramid plan mentioned above) is that the person's body still craves food several hours after he/she eats; particularly after the dinner meal. The inverse pyramid plan calls for dinner to be the smallest meal of the day. Furthermore regarding this dinner meal, many people consume it up to 4 or 5 hours before bedtime. This often leads to the individual then sneaking a snack here and there in between meals and late at night which only adds up in the amount of food that is eaten daily. It is also true that eating food just before bedtime does not help as the person's digestive system still remains too active as opposed to it naturally being almost at rest while the individual sleeps.

To aid in a legit weight loss, fat burning program the notion is that the individual should eat 4 or 5 meals daily, and in small portions. Besides eating the proper low, non-bad fat food groups at each meal the person would be required to cut back by at least half what he/she normally would have consumed before in a 3 per day full meal plan. A breakfast meal might include a small measured amount of whole grain, or raisin cereal, (or cereal containing a fruit such as a banana) with skim milk and a small glass of orange juice. As the body begins to crave food several hours later the next meal could be a granola bar, (enriched with fiber and other minerals) with zero calorie vitamin water, (not diet soda or other sugar-enriched drink). Several hours later the individual could consume a small leafy, green salad, (possibly with carrots) with a small portion of light fat-free dressing; or if possible no dressing at all. The person might choose to eat a piece of fruit such as an apple along with the salad.

This pattern could continue throughout the entire day. The dinner meal could include a chicken breast recipe along with more leafy green vegetables. In addition it is highly urged that the individual consume a lot of water 10 to 15, full servings, (10 oz.) daily. Water is thought of as the greatest way in helping the body curb its hunger craving. Water also helps flush bad toxins out of the body's system daily.

The idea would be for the individual not to gorge him/herself when he/she does become hungry with the body craving food. It is best to plan ahead the type of light meals that will not only answer the body's need for food, but also to consume products that do not contain high amounts of bad fat. Nourish your body with foods high in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.
