Increasing job productivity, eating more & weight loss!

Who says you shouldn't eat between meals?

Breakfast, lunch and dinner is just convention or culture and in most cases it's all people know but for weight loss it's better to do away with convention.

Conventional thinking makes people fat!

The direct relationship between food intake and muscular efficiency has been studied by Dr. Howard A. Haggard and Dr. Leon A. Greenberg of Yale University, among others. They recorded the results of frequent feedings on factory workers. Most accidents and errors in the factory were occurring shortly before noon and before the evening whistle. By the simple expedient of allowing the workers a mid-morning and a mid-afternoon snack hour, their output was surprisingly increased and there was a substantial drop in errors.

On such a schedule the workers were satisfied with smaller lunches and dinners.

Shortly after a meal, your muscular efficiency increases about 30%-that is, you are able to get more work out of the same amount of calories, or you are able to perform the same amount of work with less fatigue. Starches and sugars are most quickly converted into usable energy; hence the advisability of reserving sweetened fruit juices, toast, milk, or fresh fruit for your "extra" meals.

"But doesn't my stomach need a rest?" you may be wondering. "Won't five meals a day overwork it?"

Stomachs live to work. When they're empty they invest their energy in hunger contractions as a signal for you to renew the supply of raw materials. Several light meals keep your stomach happy, whereas a large, heavy meal wins only a gastric groan. So it's important to keep an empty stomach from terrifying itself by its own voracity.

Many reducers are victims of the grand matinal delusion that they're off to a splendid day if they confine breakfast to a cup of coffee. Perhaps they go lightly on lunch too, so by evening their appetite is way out of bounds and they stow away a lumberman's dinner- at just the time of day when they need it least. Moreover, they have gone through the working day at a low pitch of energy, wondering why they're tired out and "dopey" when the trouble simply is that they're hungry.

So, eat your breakfast!

Get up a little earlier, leave the dishes unwashed, take your shower the night before-anything to save time for breakfast. You are most rested and free from physical fatigue when you get up in the morning, but your muscular efficiency is at its lowest because it is 10 or 12 hours since you ate anything. A skimpy breakfast, except for short-term reducers, is an invitation to that tired feeling to dog you all day, with its unhappy by-products of jitteriness and irritability.

Let a couple of boiled eggs and maybe a slice of ham lick the no-breakfast blues. You'll even find it easier to get along with your boss or your husband or wife.

So, eat, eat, eat 5 or 6 small meals every 3-3 1/2 hours to have a more productive day and quicker weight loss results!


Thanks for reading!

Make it a great day!
