It’s
been the draw of many diets. Imagine eating more to lose weight.
The dream diet is finally a reality according to some fitness
experts. The ideal diet does not restrict favorite foods. In
fact it recommends consuming one’s cherished delights. The diet
is about eating carbohydrates; such as breads. The wonder diet
is referred to as the 3-Hour Diet.
Time Flys When You Are Dieting?
Food
intake is a vital aspect of losing weight. The 3-Hour Diet involves
eating every three hours. It concept is to refresh the metabolism.
When the body is deprived of food, it goes into starvation mode
after three hours. Between food consumption, the body transforms
into it natural 'starvation protection mechanism' where it begins
to burn through muscle. By eating every three hours, the metabolism
remains revved up so the body blazes through muscle versus fat.
For
instance an ideal food consumption day may consist of:
•
At 7 AM, eat breakfast within an hour of waking
• At 10 AM, eat a small snack
• At 1 PM eat a snack
• At 4 PM, have a moderate snack
• At 7 PM, eat dinner at 7 and small treat
• Then do not eat for the rest of the evening
Although,
the innovator/fitness expert of the diet, Cruise devised the
nutrition plan to help people consume a balanced diet, the portions
are important, as well.
The
recommended portions of the 3-Hour Diet’s main meals of the
day (morning, afternoon and evening) include:
•
Carbohydrates should be a cup size
• Protein should not exceed the size of a one CD case
• Vegetables and fruits should be the size of five CD cases
The
3-Hour Diet plan is receiving thumbs up from the likes of Dr.
David L. Katz, M.D. of Yale University School of Medicine. Katz
thinks that the diet is the missing link of today’s extreme
planet of weight loss. Katz is known as a nationally acclaimed
nutrition expert who focuses on preventing obesity and other
related medical illnesses.
Essentially,
there’s now a good excuse for everyone to eat more than three
meals a day.
