I know it’s hard to get into a new routine. I talked about eating 5 or 6 times a day. It’s a great idea for losing weight if you can make the change. Your eating very small quantities every time you eat, the idea is that you never get full. You only eat enough to get to the next meal. So you have to eat about every 3 or 3 1/2 hours, no longer or you’ll start to get hungry.
You start by eating a good breakfast, not big but filling. I eat oatmeal. Remember, eat healthy, let’s say about 7 a.m. Then about 10 am you eat again, maybe fruit and yogurt. Take lunch about 1 p.m., but not a big lunch, remember you ate at 10. So you bag something from home, a half sandwich and a piece of fruit. Around 4 pm. you eat again, maybe the other half of that sandwich. Now you get home so about 7 you eat again, something small like half a breast of chicken and some vegetable like broccoli. And about 10 or later eat something small, preferably a cup of plain Greek yogurt. The secret is to eat healthy food all day and only small portions.
I idea is that a small amount of solid food can be digested in 3 hours. A large meal or the normal dinner size might take twice as long to digest and if you eat before your last meal is digested your body will store undigested foods in fat cells never to be seen again, except around your waist. Your body can't digest two meals at the same time, so anything leftover from the first meals goes into storage when the next meals goes into the stomach.
If you noticed out of the foods I recommend there’s only meat mentioned once a day. Sandwiches should be made with Avocado, cheese, or peanut butter, something with nutrition but not meat. Some people will need to eat that meat and vegetable either at 1,4,or7. Only 4 oz. of meat all day, and avoid red meat. Lean pork, chicken breast, turkey breast or fish. An try to eat fish 3 times a week, but avoid the fish high in Mercury.
Yes, reducing calories can will help you lose weight, but the calories you do eat must be fortified with nutrition. You have to keep up your strength. Look for ways to put more protein in your diet, like eating dairy products, beans and vegetables like broccoli. Now more than ever you have to start eating what’s right for you and not what you like. Eating 1000 calories a day of the wrong food won’t help you. You won’t get rid of the cravings.
Cravings are a subconscious state of mind. It’s your body telling you that your missing nutrition that you should have ate. So you keep eating not knowing what your missing. It’s all subconscious thoughts. When you stop eating the food you like and start to eat the food your body needs your body fat will begin to shrink. You’ll start to lose weight and you’ll start to feel better.
