Weight Loss and Small Meals
Weight Loss Study - Overweight Men
In a recent weight loss study, eating frequent meals reduced appetite
in weight loss subjects by 27 percent. One group of healthy, overweight
men had a large breakfast and nothing to eat for 5 hours. Another group
ate the same amount of same food but divided in 5 hourly meals. At lunch
of an all you can eat meal the men who had 5 hourly meals ate less that
the men who just had one large breakfast and the snackers had much more
favorable insulin and blood glucose profiles.
Scandinavian Weight Loss Study
Scandinavian weight loss researchers reported on competitive boxers who
tried to lose weight by reducing their calorie intake. They noted weight
loss was mostly lean body mass loss in those who had their daily calorie
ration in two square meals compared with those who had 6 meals a day.
They concluded it appears wiser to eat more small meals if you want to
lose weight.
