Are You Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Program?

You’ve no doubt heard that it is better to eat many small meals
throughout the day (approximately 5-6), than to go all day without
eating and then “gorging” yourself on dinner in the evening. But
did you ever wonder why?

The fact is, your body can only process about 350 calories every
90 minutes. Eat more than that, and you’re most likely overloading
your digestive system. If your body cannot use all the “fuel” you
provide it at any given time, it will use what it can (and only
what it can), and then store the rest as body fat. It assumes,
through thousands of years of experience, that there will be “lean”
times when it will need those fat reserves for fuel. But in this
modern age, we, thankfully, seldom face those lean times.

Because
of this, if we are to keep our weight from spiraling out of control,
we must, by CHOICE limit our quantities of food, as well as the
KINDS of food.

So, how do we use this information in losing weight? Simple. Eat
light, but eat often. There are many benefits to this strategy.
First, you are only providing your body what it needs, when it
needs it. Second, you are able to better maintain a consistent
blood sugar level, and so you’re not left feeling tired all day.

And by making certain wise and healthful choices, you will find
the 350 calorie limit CAN be quite filling. Make poor choices,
however, and you’ll be left feeling unsatisfied. So be sure to
choose healthful fruits & vegetables and limit your intake of
breads & cereals (these calories will add up fast). Also, when
including meat in the diet, choose ONLY healthful, low-fat fish &
fowl.

This one simple tip, if practiced FAITHFULLY, will help you
achieve your weight loss goals.
