Stop Eating Small Quantum Of Food Frequently, Eat Full Meal Thrice A Day For A Healthy Life!


Eating 3 square meals a day is better than frequent eating in small quantum. This has been established by researchers from Purdue University, Indiana. Experiments conducted on over weight men, who were on low calorie and high protein diets revealed that they were more comfortable and less hungry when they ate three times full meals instead of small meals six times a day. The findings are contrary to the popular belief that frequent eating in tiny morsels keeps a person healthy.

Leidy, the lead researcher, conducted research on 27 obese men. They were made to eat either high protein diet or normal protein diet for 12 weeks. Diets contained 750 fewer calories than each man needed to maintain his current weight. The men were made to eat full meals 3 times a day at an interval of 5 hours each or six meals every 2 hours. At the end of the study it was found that those eating thrice a day with higher protein diet felt fuller throughout the day. They refused eat at odd hours as the thought of hunger was not at all present in their mind. However those men who were taking less protein 6 times a day felt hungry even late in the night as they felt hungry most of the day.

Folks, if you are in the habit of frequenting the kitchen and fridge for small helpings, desist from this habit with immediate effect and switchover to full meals thrice a day to lead a happy and healthy life!
