Two Meals a Day Or Five?
It’s so hard to keep up with the diet industry and to know how to make sense of recent diet advice. For instance, there is a craze right now with intermittent fasting. Some of the gurus say you should limit your eating to 7 hours a day, so you would only eat between 12-7pm (for instance) while others say that you would eat normally five days a week and bring your calorie count down to 600 calories a day for two days a week.
Then there are those who advocate eating five really small meals a day. The idea here is that your body is constantly staying full and burning small amounts of calories that it’s being given.
Which is right? Which is better? These are questions that you’ll have to answer for yourself. It’s important, as you think about it, to consider what will give you peace of mind, a full stomach and satisfaction. If you’re starving half the day then you probably won’t be fun to be around, get work done productively or eat in a positive way. And being healthy is much more important than being thin. Read about these many ideas and come to a conclusion about what will work for you – and what you’ll find sustainable.
