eating meals b/w breakfast and lunch may lead your wt loss efforts go in vain.

i too didn't know that. what most of my neighbours thought was that if we snacked in between meals, we'd reduce our intake of our regular meals like lunch and dinner. thus that'd help balance our weight gain and all. i snack a lot and i do mean a lot, but i don't think i'm gaining weight tht much. of course, i'm not the type that gains weight easily too, but you'd definitely see some difference. of course, when you snack, i feel it's always good to have healthy snacks which i don't unfortunately. i can't keep myself away from junk food and sweet stuff. so guys, don't follow what i do:P

I concur. I managed to lose a few pounds by totally skipping snacks. I don't skip meals but I make it a point to eat only enough to get me to the next meal. Usually, the food we eat for snacks are small in quantity but packed with so much calories. It cannot even give us a sense of fulness so we tend to eat more of it.

In fact, most dieticians recommend 5 small meals a day every 3 hours to help reduce weight.What is wrong is to eat 3 heavy meals and also eat i between meals.Instead if we eat in smaller quantities and also sensible balanced meals 5 times a day it is far more healthier and also helpful in losing and maintaining weight..

of course. most of snack contain something that our body no need. and our body keep it and became fat.

Wow~ I didn't know that. What I knew was eating late night snack will increase one's weight as one probably have not fully digested the food they took. Well, himanshuorange, did they provide reasons? I'm not one of those that trying to reduce weight, but I certainly would like to know more about this =D
