Listen to your body

When eating, have you ever noticed that you can eat a lot of food if you keep at it in one sitting and not take a break. Do you think that your body was made to do so or do you think that in nature, your body is use to eating little and then taking breaks to find the next meal and/or the next spot to sit and get out o the way from something that could eat you.? Your body is not made to eat a lot at one time. It is made to eat a bit here and a bit there. No I am not a doctor and no I am not a nutritionist. From some of the research that I have done I have concluded that that the human body is not made to sit down and get full. It was made to eat a little here and there because in nature that is what it had to do to survive. Just do a comparison to squirrels, deers, tigers, and any other animal out their and none, except for house hold animals, eat three meals a day. We force our eating habits onto dogs and cats so they are excluded from the study.

You have probably heard about the six meal diet which says to eat three meals that are small but full of protein, carbs, and fruits and veggies; and three meals that are based on snacks….healthy snacks. This diet is also known as just grazing which is to mimic the eating behavior grazing animals like cows, goats, etc. This diet is great, but they have only limited the feeding down to six meals which in my opinion should be more because the body then has to put itself back into storage mode. If you notice animals in the wild, they are eating a little bit and then eating something again shortly after unless they are going through a famine which their bodies then place itself into storage mode. My opinion and this is only my opinion, we should eat about a cup of food slowly every hour thereabouts. This would ensure that we get the food that our bodies only need and not want. This would mean that the food would have to be prepared prior too or you would have to buy something really small.

With the small amount of food consumed and the frequency that the food is eaten, the person will not be hungry and not full. This will eliminate the storage factor to kick in and have the body go into storage mode.
