Dirty Thirty #7: Snacking Throughout the Day

First of all, let me state that snacking throughout the day does work for some people, but it certainly doesn't work for many of us. This is where our bioindividuality comes into play.

If you are eating healthy meals, you do not need to eat many times throughout the day to keep your blood sugar stable or to satiate hunger. This is especially true for those of us who are overeaters. The problem is not starting to eat; it is stopping the eating! If you eat three meals a day, you only have to stop eating three times a day. Studies also show that, for overeaters, snacking throughout the day actually leads to weight gain and more unhealthy eating.
