"I EAT ALL DAY LONG AND NEVER GAIN A POUND." Why It Is
Important to Eat Five Meals a Day
How would you like to become that skinny person who says
“I eat all day long and never gain a pound.”?
It’s true that for some people, that way of life is
so natural that they never even realized that they were
doing anything right. We ask them their secrets and
ultimately we chalk it up to the mystery of a “great
metabolism,” and wish that we had one too.
It’s not a mystery.
The truth is that anyone can maximize their metabolism not
just personal trainers if they just learn to eat like a
skinny person. We’re not talking about a lifelong
sentence of salads and carrot sticks. We’re talking
about eating little meals all day long.
From a health standpoint, one of the worst things that
happened to us as a society was the advent of the three
meal day that came with industrialization. The problem with
eating three times a day (or fewer for some of us), is that
it allows too much time to pass between meals. We let
ourselves get too hungry, and then eat to overcome that
sensation.
We are just innocently eating the way we were taught.
Meanwhile, we are sending signals to our bodies that are
not so innocent. We get overly hungry and that tells our
body that there is a shortage of food; it’s time to
store fat just in case. Then, we get so hungry, we eat more
calories in one sitting than our body can process. Our
bodies can’t discern how much to feed itself. It just
knows that it can’t process it all and dumps
everything we’ve eaten to fat storage as well.
The key is to eat five, small meals throughout the day to
avoid the valleys and peaks of hunger and fullness (see
Live’s sample nutrition plan). By providing enough
calories for your metabolism to burn at a steady rate
throughout the day, you are telling your body that there
will always be enough food for it to burn at a higher rate
and feed off of the stored fat in your body as well as the
food you consume. When you combine this eating plan with
exercise, you will be able to raise your metabolism even
further, making you that skinny person who eats all day and
never gains a pound.
