There are indications in favor of the "nibbling versus
gorging" meal pattern as more adequate to our biological nature.
The problem oftiming in meal planning is an important one and it deserves
a separate discussion.Here is just one example.
Ten years ago, a study was published in theNew England Journal of Medicine
(J.A. Jenkins et al. "Nibbling versus Gorging:Metabolic Advantages of Increased
Meal Frequency." 1989, 321, 14:929-934). It reported that frequent meals
may be better for you than the same calories,protein, fat and carbohydrate
ratio and content, but swallowed in just threesquare meals during the day.
It was good not only for weight loss, but forblood cholesterol: it levels
plummeted 15 percent. Cortisol fell more than17 percent. An important reminder:
cortisol is, besides its stress-relatedquality, a fat-forming hormone.
Today I advise that you choose only one change.
If or when you succeed, add one more point. If you don't, choose a different
point.
