How is it even possible to eat 4-6 small meals?

On every diet question, people say you have to eat 4-6 small meals a day, but how do you even do that? that isn’t really the point. I cant even get hungry three times a day, so how small do these meals need to be? like, an apple an that’s it? I think that the most effective way to lose weight is to NOT eat, but everyone says that’s bad. why? and im not talking about anorexia.

Answer #1

I eat two small meals a day and I’ve lost about 50 pounds already. It makes me so proud. I still have a long way to go though. It’s really easy all you do is the plan the amount of calories in each of your snacks and make them small. Apples, like you said, are good and so are salads. DON’T USE RANCH. One serving of ranch has 140 calories. 130 of those calories are fat calories.

Answer #2

why? because food is fuel,how do you expect your mind and body to work without it??its like not putting any petrol in the car and expecting it to go. Just try the 3 meals a day,breakfast being the most inportant and having a light lunch and dinner.

Answer #3

WHY?-Because you need energy to survive and do everday things like walking or going to school, or working. People don’t eat because they want to (Although some unhealthy people do) people eat because you have to too survive. Besides, some people actually gain weight by starving themselves because their bodies are like What’s up with this and store every little thing you eat as fat. If you want to lose weight without being a psycho maniac you must have a nutritional balanced diet, with a little of everything-even junk food!

Answer #4

I try to eat every 2 hours, even if it’s something small. (it’s easy at work because I get a break every 2 hours.)

kimpippin is right, you’re body goes into starvation mode and anticipates starving so it’ll store more fat if you’re eating only a few large meals a day.

Once you get your body into the routine of small meals, you’ll eat less but more often and eventually your body will tell you when it’s time to eat, and when it’s time to stop.(when you’re full - listen to your stomach, that’s it’s job!)

Eating 6 small meals a day helps to keep your metabolism going,which helps burn fat calories better. However,that doesnt mean eating a hamburger every two hours will help you lose weight. The meals should be light,and healthy.Like apples in peanut butter,or yogurt,or a light salad. Id Suggest a Breakfast,a Mid Morning Snack,Lunch,a Mid-Afternoon snack,and then dinner. Maybe a Snack after dinner,but keep it light and at least 2 hours before bed,beacue your body doesnt burn as many calories at night. Good luck,hope I helped :]

Answer #6

You space out your meals by intaking about 200 calories at a time 6 times, then you will in take about 1200 calories a day. which is pretty good if you’re normal intake in like 2000 calories. It keeps you fuller all day long even if youre not stuffing yourself. And it keeps your metabolism working all day. But be careful on what you choose to eat as your 200 calories. instead of eating a chocolate bar, eat like a bananna and an apple, to make you feel fuller. :) :) Let me know if I helped
