Wanna lose weight? Then eat lunch twice!
Eat lunch twice! This is another way of saying that distributes your calories. I found out that my calories were bottom heavy. I rarely used to eat breakfast. I also used to have a quick lunch because of my busy work. As the evening approached, I used to feel famished. I will come home and start eating snacks, have a drink or two and just weight for the dinner to be served. I will then have a heavy dinner and go to bed almost immediately. I found out that I am consuming almost 60% of my calories during dinner. That was too much. Also, there was not enough time for the body to burn any of those calories as I used to go to bed soon after dinner. To get out of this rut, I started having breakfast regularly. It was a struggle to be hungry in the morning for a few days but my body quickly adapted to it. Then I started having sensible lunches - around 300-400 calories. I would have my lunch at 12:30pm but was starving again around 4:30pm. I tried to eat snacks - sometimes nuts, sometimes cereal and milk if I am at home, sometimes a granola bar and things like that. This helped but I was still famished in the evening. Also, the snacks were not always healthy and contained a lot of fat. One day, a thought came to my mind - I eat a sensible lunch of around 400 calories, why not have it twice. Its filling, it’s satisfying and has around the same calories as my snacks. That day I went to Subway and ordered a foot long turkey sandwich on a wheat bread. I ate 6" sandwich at 12:30pm and then another 6" at 4:30pm. That was the big difference! When I went home that day, I did not feel famished. I ate sensible dinner. As soon as I put this into routine, I started to lose pounds. It turns out that once I distributed my calories, I did not feel famished at any time. That was the trick.
