Recent opinion as evidenced in a study says that people who eat only two meals a day faster than slimmer people who eat more frequently, even in the same amount of calories.
The research results presented at the American Diabetes Association 73rd Scientific Sessions. This research involves participants who suffer from type two diabetes. They were asked to undergo two methods of diet for 12 weeks.
One group ate 6 times which consists of three large meals and three small meals each day. While the other group ate only 2 big meals a day, consisting of breakfast and lunch. Both groups were fed with the amount of calories and nutrients the same. As a result, those who eat 2 meals a day has decreased BMI three times as much.
According to lead researcher Hannah Kehleova, MD. PhD of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, when we reduce the intake of calories, your metabolism slows.
But in this study, when they eat only two meals a day your metabolism does not go down because their body work harder to digest a big meal.
However Kahleova remind respondents in this research are those who suffer dibaetes mellitus. So the diet method is not suitable for everyone.
In fact, experts believe diet twice but in large portions it can make the body fat faster. When we mengasup calories in a large portion, the body will store the excess calories as a fat and not burned as energy.
Previous studies have also shown that eating regularly throughout the day will help keep your blood sugar stable and keep your appetite under control.
Kahleova also explains that eating two meals a day bukanlan appropriate strategies to lose weight in the long term. "You should eat a bit heavy at breakfast and lunch, but dinner in small portions," he said.
What about cravings? Listen to your body to recognize whether it is more suitable to eat small meals six times a day or twice only. Then select snacks that are high in fiber and low in calories so insatiable cravings but not too add calories.
