Do you eat breakfast because it’s time to eat Breakfast? and then go and follow throuugh with Lunch and Dinner times as well? If you do you are not alone. Most people eat because they believe it’s “TIME’ to eat, not because they are hungry. We get caught up in meal times for different reasons. Sometimes its a time for us to just simply take a break from everything we are doing. A relaxing excuse if you will, or even better a chance to escape. It is also an excuse to be social…..Let’s do lunch.
The Only Reason to eat at a specific time of day is because YOU ARE HUNGRY. If you are not hungry…. don’t eat. When you are eating because it’s a Meal Time, you are simply giving your bodies calories it is not asking for and most likely does not want. Wait until you are hungry to eat. If you love Lunch then by all means eat lunch. But don’t force yourself to eat just because it’s that time of the day. I once had a client who told me she would literally force food down her mouth at breakfast because she thought she had to eat breakfast. That’s a big fat NO! If you are a healthy person, you should never force yourself to eat. You will eat when you are hungry. If you know you love to eat at night, save your calories for night time. It doesn’t matter if you eat more than half your food and snacks at night. What matters is how much you eat and what you are eating in total in one day.
If you are not a Breakfast or Lunch person and want to skip these traditional meal times…….. a suggestion to avoid overindulging later in the day make sure you have healthy foods on you at all times. A protein bar, an apple etc. Something that is easy and quick to eat. When you begin to feel hungry have a snack and then you can make a better decision on what you would like to eat and when you would like to eat it.

I don’t recommend eating when you are not hungry, I also don’t recommend not eating all day. The ideal eating pattern will always be to what your body wants and needs. When possible graze throughout the day starting from when you first feel a twinge of hunger. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy snacks full of fiber, protein and healthy carbs.
