"PB" wrote in message ... More frequent smaller snacks , or one or 2 bigger meals ? Frequent smaller snacks keep a steady blood sugar level which can affect hunger or cravings for some people. I found a few different mentalities when it comes to the frequency of meals. Weight lifting types like Bill Phillips (Body for Life) and even my own trainer who is a former power lifter tend to advocate more frequent smaller "meals." Dieticians and the like tend to recommend 3 squares and maybe 2 small snacks. It's very much a YMMV thing. Bill Phillips in his BFL book cites *numerous* studies that show the benefits of frequent smaller meals. goddamn exercise, you stop for a couple of months, and you regain an inch on waist. Then I'd recommend not stopping for a few months unless medically necessary Jenn |

It's really a personal preference to most people. But there are several studies on the benefits of frequent smaller meals. Do a search on 'benefit frequent meals' and you'll find many sites with information on the subject. Here are just a couple: http://www.foodnavigator.com/news/ne...nt-meals-lower http://www.fitstep.com/Library/Tips/...weigh-less.htm |
