For some of us, the word diet is equivalent to starvation. In practice, this is not the case. In most diets, one of the most important things is to follow a certain diet, ie. when and how often to eat.

Why should we eat often? Most nutritionists recommend eating small portions five to six times a day. This reduces the feeling of deprivation and hunger. When people eat two large portions twice a day, their bodies are in starvation mode, which in turn leads to calorie retention. By eating every three to four hours, your body does not store as many calories and fats because it receives a constant supply of food that it uses optimally for energy production.

Let's look at our metabolism as a burning fire. Think about what happens to a fire if you throw a tree at it. Throwing a tree at regular intervals, it does not go out and the tree burns completely, and if we throw a pile of wood, it subsides and burns them more slowly, as very often some of them do not burn completely. This is exactly what happens in our bodies when we eat, the constant intake of nutritious fuel at regular intervals keeps the metabolism increased and stable, and the body working with maximum efficiency.

Why not eat just before bed? All processes in the human body slow down in the evening or at night when we sleep. Therefore, try not to overeat during this time of day. Experts advise the following, the last meal of the day should be from three to four hours before bedtime. It is no coincidence that there are diets that explicitly prohibit eating after seven in the evening.

As you can see, the secret is not in starvation, but in frequent eating. Therefore, do not miss breakfast or any of the subsequent meals, each of them is important for you and your body and last but not least for your diet.
