“Small meals more often” is a habit that I will never promote in terms of weight loss and healthy eating.
First, every meal will cause insulin fluctuations. When the insulin concentration reaches a critical point, it will interrupt fat burning and even cause the body to start to synthesize fat.
Second, eating small and frequent meals will make people lose the ability to deal with hunger. For example, some people often suffer from hypoglycemia. This is a typical example.

The human body has a function called gluconeogenesis, which can convert non-sugar substances in the body into glucose to stabilize blood sugar, so most people will not suffer from hypoglycemia. But if you keep eating it and take in a lot of sugar, your body is likely to lose its regulatory function.
Also, some people can’t feel hungry or full, which is also a problem with the body’s regulatory function.

Someone asked: “If you are hungry between lunch and dinner, what snack can you eat?” At this time, I wanted to ask: “Is the feeling of hunger between meals really hungry? If I eat more at lunch, will I still be hungry? ?” If you feel hungry between meals no matter how much you eat, it may be purely a matter of habit or greed. This kind of false hunger in the brain is not a real physical need, and this needs to be adjusted.
I remember watching the BBC documentary “Blue Planet”. A big shark had a big meal. The narrator said: “It will not need to eat for the next six months.” This is true for animals, but it is also true for people.
Wanting to eat extra meals all day long is actually once morest nature.
Third, eating small and frequent meals will lead to the intake of more additives. Usually, you will eat processed foods for followingnoon tea or snacks, which contain trans fatty acids, sugar, etc., which will increase the chance of inflammation in the body.
Fourth, eating small amounts often will destroy the balanced relationship between people and food. So, why not try to cultivate the habit of eating regular meals and skip snacks?
Fifth, the habit of eating small meals frequently will reduce work efficiency, increase financial burden, and reduce concentration.
Under the same conditions, if there is no snack during working hours, work efficiency will definitely be higher.
After a long period of adjustment, I have now developed the habit of eating only one meal a day. I can work efficiently from the morning until I have a good meal following finishing work in the evening.
If I have to eat three meals a day or more, for me, my work efficiency will be lower.
From the perspective of natural laws, creatures that need to be eaten all the time are often not high-level creatures and are easily eliminated.
Sixth, we still discuss the most fundamental metabolic issue. Normally, within 4 hours following eating, the human body is in sugar-burning mode. After 4 hours, the sugar in the blood will be consumed first. Under the action of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, the sugar in the liver and muscles will be consumed. And begins to partially burn fat and enters the sugar-oil hybrid mode.
After the sugar in the muscles and liver is consumed, it enters the pure fat burning mode, which is the efficient fat burning state that everyone is pursuing. The theory of small, frequent meals is contrary to this.
If you fast for more than 12 hours, the body’s self-repair mechanism, which is the “autophagy effect” (Editor’s note: Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi) discovered that fasting yourself in a timely manner and staying hungry will trigger the cells in the body to carry out “autophagy effect” (Autophagy), cleans up cell metabolites, and can also treat some diseases.) will be activated. The light fasting and weight loss method will be introduced in detail later.
Seventh, most small meals often turn into frequent meals.
Therefore, I would like to remind those who lose weight not to fall into the marketing trap of snack merchants. Unless you have special physical conditions, such as stomach problems, or other medical conditions specially warned by doctors, you can only choose small meals more frequently.
