If eating every 2-3 hrs...

that's what I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! I'm on it!! (he says as he heads for the kitchen)

I drink diet soda all day, since it tricks my body into thinking I just had real sugar
Keepin my metabolism up

lol! what made 2-3 hours the magic number anyway? xD

hahah yeah I think people just say 2-3 hours because throughout the day people are working, going to classes, etc. and it makes it difficult to eat all the time like that.

Myth No 1:-

From what I know (which isn't a lot);

If you ate every fifteen minutes, then the longest time possible between exercise and eating would be fifteen minutes, right? Well that isn't good because your body needs to digest food for energy, and it doesn't digest food (not much) when you are exercising because blood is directed to your muscles not your stomach. So you need to digest food before you exercise, so that's why as a rule of thumb you eat two hours before exercise (unless you're doing something IF to lose weight).

All I know is that since I've made an effort to eat every 4 hours or so I've been more successful at losing weight, and the daily calories have stayed about the same.

That's pretty much how my day goes. I eat two actual meals and everything else is a dessert that I turn into a protein meal. My 2 o'clock snack was a homemade german chocolate protein cheesecake.

Saying something like this and not posting a recipe is just mean.

Does that mean if I put a gallon of petrol in my car 6 times instead of six gallons in one go, my car will go faster too?

I just take a bite every 3 minutes.

OH!! is THAT how you got so hawt?

So that's why those brides who get a constant stream of nutrients through a feeding tube in their nose drop all that weight!

My day:
6 am - Hot water with lemon and fresh ginger
8am - breakfast
10am - snack
12:30pm - lunch
3:30pm - snack
6:30pm - dinner
8:30pm - magnesium and bedtime

I eat raw green beans at any time I'm hungry in between. By dinner time I'm famished!

everybody different and I used to eat every hour. I now follow the leangains.com approach. Which is fasting and eating all your calories in a time window. I've seen more results switching to this style than when I used to eat every hour. Mind you I still eat the same amount of calories, just during a certain time frame. Sounds crazy but Martin on that website has some GREAT scientific evidence to prove why it works and why it really doesn't matter when you eat and how much you eat at one time as long as you are in control of your calories. Maybe it won't work for everyone (both ways work for me but I've leaned out more with leangains approach) but worth a read. A good book is 'Eat Stop Eat' that also explains this. I follow the primal nutrition approach and that ties into it as well. Our caveman ancestors weren't eating every 2 hours. They would spend the majority of their day looking/hunting for food and ate big meals randomly, while fasting the rest.

that's my 2 cents anyways. to each their own of course!
