Eat Small Amounts All Day

Doctor Suggested I Eat All Day

Three years ago I meet a young doctor just out of Med School, who was working with my used to be family doctor. While checking my vital signs he mentioned that he seldom eats a lot of food at one time. His approach to food was eating little amounts all day. And I must confess he didn’Äôt seem to have any excess fat on his body.

Body Stores More Fat Then It Needs

Here’Äôs his theory on the eating all day concept. People being the way they are, are always on the diet roller coaster. One week they’Äôre dieting the next they eat everything in front of them. And because of this the body doesn’Äôt have reasonable expectations that food will be readily available for its needs all the time. Because of this the human body stores excess food all the time for those times when the idiot in charge goes on a no eat schedule for a period of time.

Saves Fat for Know Reason

According to the doctor this is sending the body the wrong message and because of that it saves more fat then it really needs and eventually it gets completely confused and just saves fat like there’Äôs know tomorrow.

All Day Feeding Convinces the Body to Stop Saving Fat

Just recently viewing my excess in the mirror I thought of the doctors theory and decided out of desperation to give it a try. So far I have lost four pounds and am eating small amounts all the time. It’Äôs kind of hard when mealtime comes around. Sometimes I eat more salad then usual and that helps me get through the three meals a day thing. But it sure seems to be working a lot better then what I have been doing over the years. It seems like my whole life has run like the operator of a roller coaster. It’Äôs a ride of loosing weight and then slowly putting it back on. Maybe if I train my body to understand I’Äôm always going to feed it, it will stop wanting to store food and thus leave me with less fat all the time. Hope springs eternal and that’Äôs my hope for staying weight wise where I want to be.
