Do you think eating 4 X 200 calorie meals and one 600 calorie meal a day is heal!


Question:

Do you think eating 4 X 200 calorie meals and one 600 calorie meal a day is healthy?

I am trying to lose weight. I wanted to try the 6 meals a day routine. I found it ok durring the day but once 6pm hits I am no longer able to stop and eat. between getting the kids fed, bathed, teeth brushed, story read, do dishes, make hubby's lunch for next day, tidy up the house and take a shower, it's 11p.m. I was wondering if I sqeezed the last two meals together if it would sort of defeat the whole idea of the diet?

Has anyone tried the diet?

Has anyone done what I want to do successfully?

Thanks for your time everyone!
Becky


Answers:

The point of eating smaller portions of food more frequently is to train your body to know that whenever it gets hungry, there will be food there to feed it. This has two beneficial results.

First, your body will feel free to burn the energy you put into it, and not store it because it will know that the supply will always be there.

Second, you won't walk around the house starving between meals.

Most people would eat at 8, snack at 10, eat at noon, snack at 3, and have the final meal at 6, without adding food after that point.

I think you might want to adjust your schedule accordingly, spacing out the total caloric intake to your needs (a bit smaller snack in the mid afternoon, for example) and you won't have to worry about eating later.

On a total side note, you might want to check your schedule if you can't spare 5 minutes between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. That type of stress might lead to some hypertension.
