When is the Best Time of the Day to Eat for Health and Weight Control?

Here are some of the talking points I go over in this Video about the Best Time of the Day to Eat for Health and Weight Control!

  1. Most people will tell you you should eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner and then not eat after dinner. Is this the best way for everyone to plan their meals for health and weight control?
  2. What about intermittent fasting? Tons of people and even doctors swear by it. When you intermittent fast you skip breakfast and sometimes even lunch with a shortened eating window which usually means you can not eat after a certain time in the evening too.
  3. What about eating multiple small meals throughout the day as often as 6 times? The theory behind this is often claimed to increase your metabolism for a longer more sustained period of time.

Some Basic Rules I suggest to Follow:

  • Eat when you are hungry. Don’t wait till you are starving. Don’t eat because you are bored or stressed, try to be aware of dangerous eating habits versus healthy eating habits.
  • Figure out what time of the day you are naturally the most hungry and plan your main meals around those times.
  • Shorten your eating window as much as you comfortably can without putting yourself in an eating frenzy state.
  • Plan your meals out, you don’t have to meal prep, just have a good idea when you plan to eat and what you plan to eat so you have a game plan to follow and there are less surprises.
  • Find good food options you enjoy that you have available to you at all times and plan these foods into each day, eventually you will develop a habit of eating certain healthy foods at certain times and your body will learn to expect this rather than fight you all day long with food cravings.
