Weight Loss Eating Habits Study:
Frequency of Meals
Weight Loss Eating Habits Study Method
A recent weight loss study of 6,890 men and women aged 45-75 years in
Norfolk, England, looked at how frequently they ate and measured concentrations
of fasting blood lipids. Frequency of eating included meals and snacks.
Weight Loss Eating Habits Study Results
Even though those who ate only once or twice a day reported eating fewer
calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrate, they had higher total serum
cholesterol levels. Those who ate more often were less overweight, more
physically active, smoked less, and drank less alcohol.
Weight Loss Eating Habits Study Conclusion
Even though the authors propose that eating more often was not a marker
of a healthy lifestyle, their data support the view that eating once or
twice daily is characteristic of those with an unhealthy lifestyle and
are more likely to be overweight.
