I have been telling people to eat six small meals a day for a long time and people usually see big advantages to doing this very quickly after adapting to the new schedule. Now I have proved to myself why.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been pulled into some big lunch meetings with big food. When I say big food I mean a salad, meal, dessert and usually the main meal is pretty big. After grazing for years and never usually eating big meals except on holidays I have gotten used to that nice even feeling with good energy but never feeling bloated but that feeling has left me these few times. This is not the ideal way to eat six small meals a day.
I eat a big meal for lunch, maon about my fullness, skip dinner, have a bit of a snack in the evening and then wake up groggy and tired in the morning. there is really something to be said for keeping an even blood sugar level.
So again, what should you be eating? Well get all of the food that you would eat in a day, all the meals, pop, snacks, everything! and then split all of this food into six servings so that you have six small meals a day and no snacks. This will have you kind of missing your dinner but loving your breakfast and the snack between lunch and dinner.
Try eating these six small meals a day starting today and see if you start feeling better almost immediately. I would expect that oyu will and the evening snacking will almost completely disappear.
