 How often should we eat - a hotly debated issue among experts weight loss. What are the options for these women?
Americans are promoting the idea that constant eating can prevent the fall in blood sugar levels - thus contributing to weight loss (so why the 3-Hour Diet is to hit the bestseller list?). However, some experts now say that three meals a day, or even one, can work just as well. We asked three women watch as three completely different meal options affect their bodies and their health.
Ingestion of 6 times a day
Breakfast:
one egg, half dry English muffin, a small glass of fruit juice, two pills omega-3s
Three hours later:
six grains of almonds or a piece of fruit
Lunch:
lettuce, dressed with olive oil (as much as you want), and half a cup of tofu, 2 cups of vegetables, 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds, two pieces of rice cake or mini pita bread, a piece of fruit
Three hours later -
piece of fruit
Lunch:
30 oz. salmon, half a cup of couscous, steamed broccoli 1 cup
Three hours later -
12 frozen vinogradinok
Diet:
The 3-Hour Diet Cruise George (Jorge Cruise)
Theory:
If you do not eat every three hours, your body will start to break down your muscles and metabolism will slow down, says Cruise. If the break between meals and a snack big enough blood sugar plummets, bringing activates hunger, craving for food, and there is fatigue. To boost metabolism and suppress appetite, each meal should contain vegetables, fats and proteins.
Tester -
Marnie Horres, 35, a consultant
In one month, she lost
2, 3 kg.
Normally, rushing out of the house, I grabbed coffee skipping breakfast. When you get to work, the stomach was already full. Hours 11 am hunger made itself felt. Even during the meal, I could not think about anything other than food. So I could skip lunch.
I thought that I had nothing better this diet. But it turned out that there is. Requires all clear plan to every 3 hours "in your field of vision" was the right foods. When you eat, you should closely monitor the amount of proteins, fats and carbohydrates - and it's really hard! Also, when you eat every 3 hours, you have to control portion sizes: If I want grape - can eat only 12 berries; if I want to almonds - only 6 grains. I hate to measure products! This requires training, and the need to prepare a light snack before going to work very tiring. At first I was starving between morning snack and lunch. But by the end of the second week of hunger he disappeared, and I saw that is not so interested in the dinner, but ate it anyway because it was necessary to eat every 3 hours.
By the time I lost several kilograms, and suddenly I had more energy than before. I've never felt such ease. And I've never felt the need to go out and jog, but this week has done it twice. I love to burn energy.
On the other hand, it seemed impossible to sit on this diet, and I did not like the fact that my life how to manage food. It was very difficult at the weekend and when we were going out with friends. Every day had to get up early to have breakfast and does not disturb the operation. Once we went to relax with friends. On the way back I bought a bag of peanuts. But, as the diet allows you to eat only 20 pieces, my friend handed them to me one by one during that time, I kept the car.
By the end of the month I clearly knew what and when to eat. Plus - I lost 2, 3 kg, and my body was like a mechanism that if you feed it well and give it what it takes - just feel very comfortable. However, I do not think I'll stick with this diet forever. I can not live and eat on such strict rules.
