Eat During the Day
Life has become very busy for many people that it is work; work;
work. It can be rushing from one meeting to the next without time to
eat a proper meal during the day. You might be one of these people
who are so busy, that they forget to eat during the day.
You might have eaten breakfast but by the evening you are starving
if you haven’t eaten through the day. You will grab the nearest food
at hand and start the evening of binging. You might have decided to
cook a healthy meal, some nice chicken with lots of steamed
vegetables, but your stomach can’t wait that long.
Soon it is a chocolate bar or two being eaten, and then you find the
chips or candy. The evening gets going and food is going to be high
on the agenda. You might add in a couple of alcoholic drinks while
you wait for your dinner to be cooked. Soon you have consumed far
more calories that you would have needed for the whole day.
You could on the other hand be someone who doesn’t cook. You have
had a hard day at work and cooking an evening meal is the last thing
on your mind. Instead you stop off at your local take-out place. A
good Indian curry; a pizza; fish and chips; or a Chinese are the
choices for tonight’s dinner. Again you might decide to have a
number of drinks with your meal, and then during the evening as you
relax you will consume more chocolate; chips; or popcorn. Before you
know it you have had thousands more calories than you need to eat in
a day.
What has happened is that you are trying to get rid of those hunger
pangs and you will now eat and eat and eat. When you have finished
you might well feel guilty for eating that amount of food in one
sitting but you were so hungry you had to eat lots of food. If you
had eaten during the day then you wouldn’t be in this position now.
If you can control your eating during the day, then you are not
going to need as much food in the evening. You won’t be eating food
that will cause your body to have to work harder to digest it. And
as your body works hard to digest the food it could keep you awake
during the evening.
Make sure you eat regular meals during the day and not in one binge
during the day or night. Make a decision if you want to lose weight
that you will no longer forget to eat during the day. You will eat
sensible meals during the day and in the evening.
