Eating little and often
This approach really works
Eating large meals is a sure fire way to gaining weight, but many of us partake in the activity regularly. A big hungry man plate piled high with all the best food, devoured in 10 minutes flat, then onto dessert hmmmm chocolate cake. New belt notches are made this way. As well as being an obvious strain on the digestive system, any calories not used by the body are stored around the belly (or the hips!)
Eating little and often works for a number of reasons.
- It stops us overeating
- It helps us regulate appetite
- It boosts metabolism every time we eat
- Energy levels are improved
- Portions always tend to be smaller
