Weight Loss TIP #3

Eat several small meals throughout the day.

You can actually have a normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner with nutritious snacks between meals if that's how you roll.

Think about the usual day at work. You might eat breakfast at 8 am before work, and then by 12 or 1 when you get a lunch break, you are starving. When we are really hungry, we eat faster. We eat so fast that by the time our brain gets the message that we are full, we have already overeaten. If we have a small snack mid morning and mid afternoon, then by our next regular meal, we won't be starving. Then we can sit and slowly enjoy our smaller portions. We will be able to recognize satiety as it sets in.
