Contrary to a lot of nutritional advice I have always advocated 3 meals a day and not snacking between. I was seen by some as very ‘old fashioned’ and they were right. In years gone by we did not have the ‘snack’ mentality. Instant snacks were not readily available anyway and eating 3 meals a day was ‘normal’. Getting to know when you are hungry and embracing that feeling knowing that your body is using up the unwanted fats, sugars and carbohydrate that have sat on your body for too long need to be embraced. The hormone insulin that is released to carry sugar to the cells to burn up as energy, keeps you going for about 3 hours. After this your body will start using energy from the fat stores. Yippee!
So if you allow 4-5 hours between meals you will burn more fat. Professor Atkin, Head of diabetes and metabolic at Hull York Medical School says ‘Fat is burned as soon as your carbohydrate stores fall and you start the mobilisation of fat for energy’ Click here for details of my programme
