When we go on a diet, we tend to think we are depriving ourselves of something. We tend to think that we will be hungry and nervous all day long. This doesn’t have to be the case. If you eat 5 or 6 meals per day, you will end up feeling more full. The reason why this works is, you are tricking your stomach. You are making it feel like there is always something being added. How do you achieve these mini meals? At first glance, a mini meal seems like something that would tempt you to eat things that are bad for you. You need to avoid these urges as much as possible. When you are eating this many meals, the urges will be great. You will think that you can sneak in things because you are eating so often.
You should eat each meal twice per day. Have two breakfasts. Have two lunches. Two dinners. But eat different things for each meal. Did you have cereal for your first breakfast? Eat eggs for the second one. And for lunch I would suggest you to try some sandwiches. Make two different sandwiches and split into four different lunches. This way you will have your double lunch for two days with two different sandwich halves each day.
As you can see the amount of food you would eat for is the same, but now is cut in two halves. All you are doing is eating more often. You are doing that to avoid the hungry feeling that you tend to get when you diet. With that said, you eat your snacks the way you normally would. There is no need to cut them out of your diet. You will everything eat like before, but the difference is you will never be hungry.
If you are having a hard time with your diet, you probably notice your new found love of carbs. They give you a shot of energy that you are craving. By eating six meals per day, you don’t have that hungry feeling that you normally would have between meals. That is the reason why you aren’t reaching for the carbs.
Dieting this way could be really interesting and you will still eat healthy and lose weight. So, why not give it a try?
