There has been a popular myth going around for the past decade or so that eating various small meals a day is better for weight loss rather than eating three full meals a day. I am here to tell you this is NOT true! And here’s why: - small meals won’t leave you satified: they don’t stick with you for long because you aren’t eating until you reach fullness, in turn making you hungry once again 2 hours later. - small meals will soil your appetite: these small meals don’t hold the same nutritional value as a full, balanced meal. But they do take away our appetite so we won’t want to have that full meal that will benefit our health. Instead you will opt for another small meal to satifiy your small hunger. - small meals can mess up your insulin levels: everytime we eat, our insulin levels rise, and when these levels are high our bodies switch into FAT-STORING mode. The opposite of what you want to achieve! We only have the ability to burn fat when our insulin levels are low... so eating three meals a day will allow for enough time for our insulin levels to drop for fat to burn🔥 It’s important to do your own research before following popular trends. It really can be hard to tell what is correct information that willl truly help you reach your goals, that’s why I am here to help too! Comment below anything you’d like me to review to tell you if it’s truly helpful, or a health myth! #healthmyths #smallmeals #healthandwellness ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 452 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 504 ## Tags healthmyths, smallmeals, healthandwellness --- Copyright (c) Gondola
