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. |
