From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 22
Many experts believe that when you avoid eating during the day, your body slows down in response to the famine.
Later, your body will store some of what you take in during the evening because it anticipates there may be a food shortage again the next day.Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.
1. Identify places in your day where you might go longer than five hours between eating.
I don’t usually have much trouble with this, but once in a while, it happens in the afternoons.
It helps a lot to have healthy snacks on hand so they’re easy to grab.
2. Plan a transition between your activities of the day and your evening meal.
The best transition for me is doing my exercise program at around 4:30 or 5:00pm. That helps my energy and reminds me to stay on track with eating healthy foods.
3. Create a short list of mini meals or snacks; then stock up on supplies for them.
