Law #12 - Eat 8 times
per day (or at least 6 times per day) every day, and
don't EVER
miss
a
meal
Do NOT
miss any meals. You'll lose weight slightly faster
if you spread your meals out over 8 times per day,
than if you do use
the 6 times per day
plan.
But it may seem
too hard
to spread
your
daily
food
intake
over
8
meals.
You
will
eat
about every 2
hours if
you
choose to
eat 8
times
per
day,
and about
every 3
hours if you
choose
to eat 6
times
per day. The only
exception
is
you
won't
be
waking
up
during
sleep,
but
30
minutes
before
sleep
you
may
be
taking
supplements,
and
immediately
before
bed
you'll have a
snack,
preferably casein
protein
or
cottage
cheese,
which
lasts
about 7
hours before
your
body
starts
going
catabolic.
Don't
ever go
longer
than
3
hours
without
eating,
or
you’ll
go
into
starvation
mode:
you
can
look
at your arm
and know
that
muscle is being
chewed
away
off of
your biceps
and
triceps to
fuel your
body until you
eat
some protein
again.
Don’t do that, as that
is
a primary
reason way
people
fail on
diets.
Muscle
is the
driver of
metabolism.
Your
speed
of
your metabolism
is
directly
proportional to
the amount of
muscle you
have. Eating
8 times a
day also helps
control
insulin,
because
you're
getting
your
carbohydrates
spread out
over
8 smaller
meals
instead of just 3
large
ones. The rises
and
drops of blood-sugar
levels
from
the 8 small meals
is
analogous
to a wimpy
roller
with 8 small
hills.
These
"hills" are
slightly
larger if you
eat 6
times
a day, but they
are still much
smaller
than if
you only ate 3
meals.
Think of the
3
rises
and
drops from
spreading
the
same
amount
of
carbs
into just
3 large
meals in a
day as a
theme-park's
showcase
thrill
ride roller
coaster,
with 3
huge
death-defying
rises
and falls.
When
dieting,
the
rising
and
falling
of
blood-sugar levels
should
stay
small, like a
baby
roller
coaster (except
for
right
after a
workout).
Choose
one of two
options:
eating 6 times
per
day
or 8 times per
day:
Eating 8 times
per day: You will eat 5 snacks and 3
meals
(breakfast, lunch,
dinner) each day.
Eating 6 times
per day: You will eat 3 snacks and
3
meals
(breakfast,
lunch,
dinner)
each
day.
