Many diet books today encourage many small meals and/or snacks. I believe the thinking is to not become REAL HUNGRY and you end up gorging. For some people, it might work out well to not eat till hungry (Rather than REAL HUNGRY) and then eat "enough". "Enough" may vary from person to person, and since I don't do this, I offer no further clarification of what the OP meant.

:: atkins suggested this in my copy of ATKINS LC. :: (the first one) :: :: i like to eat ONLY when hungry, rather than naming and timing my :: meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner. If you don't overeat at every meal, it's fairly easy to be hungry at breakfast time, lunch time, and dinner time. Frankly, it's one method I use to know if I'm overeating or not. If I do overeat, then I'll skip a meal if I'm not hungry. And if I should get hungry before the next meal, then I can eat a very small meal before the next meal or just wait til the next meal. Being a little extra hungry from time to time isn't going to kill me or anybody else. The advantage of several small meals combined with a LC diet is that you can eat to stay "just passed" the hunger. Eating smaller portions and spacing them out automatically gives your body time to send signals from point A to point B, so that your body has time to react to food. Larger meals that you put on a plate without consideration for hunger on a LC diet will probably result in your eating "far passed" the hunger, since you're eating according to what you put in the plate rather than what your body is doing. :: :: anyone have any thoughts on that? :: anyone here believe that you MUST start your day with a meal? even :: when your not hungry. :: I don't think you must start your day with a meal. But if you're not hungry in the am, it's probably because you ate too much the night before. If you want to maintain your weight, either don't eat or eat a smaller meal. Many things can work, but the most important factor is that you actively think about it and react with a degree of flexibility. Nothing is written in stone. Many things can work. Personally, I see nothing wrong with being a bit hungry before a meal. Yes, being a lot hungry can cause problems, but simply getting hungry before mealtime shouldn't be a big deal. And this is all said in the context of a LC diet where appetite suppression is working. JIMO. |

eat ONLY when hungry
I don't think it's necessary to eat breakfast every day either. Some
days, if I'm not hungry, I'll just wait and have an early lunch. Nor do I think if I skip breakfast that it means I'm going to eat much more at lunch. Certainly not likely to eat more at lunch than the calories in what breakfast would have been. Another aspect of limiting your food intake can be to eat small portions, spaced out during a meal. I've never left a French restaurant feeling hungry, even though all the portions tend to be small and they are well known for giving little quantity for the $$$. That's because the meal is spaced out over maybe 2 1/2 hours. So, the food has time to satiate your appetite. If I had all that food available in 20 mins, I'm sure I could put it all away and still be hungry. |
