Question:
Why meal
timing is so important?

Answer:
|
Like a medication, you want to control the body's utilization of
protein and carbohydrate consistently throughout the day, and
you must eat a minimum of 3 meals and 2 snacks. A zone meal
should provide you with 4-5 hours in the Zone, whereas a snack
is good for approximately 2-2.5 hours. Additionally, you must
eat within one hour after waking and don't forget your afternoon
and late-night snack. You must eat every 4-5 hours whether
you're hungry or not, no matter how busy you might be to stay in
the Zone. In fact, lack of hunger without cravings for sugars
and sweets coupled with good mental focus is a good indicator
that you're in the Zone. Like planning your daily activities,
meal and snack times must be planned accordingly. Based on your
wake up time determine those time points throughout the day when
it's time to eat your next meal or snack. |
