diet and weight loss are helped by eating at regular timesThe Simplest Diet Hint

A very simple diet trick for helping weight loss might surprise you – keep an eye on the clock!

It is such a simple tip for diets – if you eat at regular times, your body will be more efficient at managing digestion.  When you’re busy, try to set a regular time for lunch – so that your body knows what to expect.  Try to avoid skipping meals, or even just having meals at random times – your body will interpret the late meal as a sign it should be laying in some reserves, and the way it does that is to store fat.

The best tip of all…

Make sure you don’t eat late at night.  Try and make sure dinner is finished at least two hours before bed time… that way the body has some time to digest what you’ve eaten.  Ideally, the last meal of the day should be before 8pm, giving your body time to digest the meal.

The Nutritionist’s Advice

I like to recommend that my clients try to space eating out by about 2~3 hours through the day.  It is best to plan a regular mid-morning snack if you can’t make it through without eating something.  If it’s planned, you’ll think about it, and perhaps eat something healthier than if you just can’t resist the choccie biscuits any longer.  Help your willpower by planning something in.

Of course the best of all is if you can plan your meals regularly, and plan a healthy snack between meals – but it isn’t a disaster if you can’t manage this.  The most important thing is to not overdo things – you want to be making small changes to your routine which will, over time, change the balance of your body. It probably took years and years for the weight to go on – taking a gentle approach to diet will ease it back off, in a sustainable way.
