How I started "5-6 meals a day" eating habit

Before, I used to eat BIG meals once or twice a day...but...this was wrong.

As you know, Japanese Sumo Wrestlers need to have Fat and this is how they eat to get fat.

Skip breakfast and workout after that Eat 1 big lunch and then take a nap and after workout they eat the second meal.

Seriously, they eat like this to store fat.
And this Sumo Wrestler's diet have been proven that it helps them to store extra fat...


DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE A SUMO WRESTLER?

If your answer is NO, please do not eat like them.

Ok...this is what I did....

I just eat half of my regular "BIG"breakfast and then eat the rest 2-3 hours after.
And then eat half of my lunch and eat the rest of it
and for dinner I ate the same portion as my kids.
THEN WENT TO BED super early with kids because I needed to stop eathing before 7:30pm but I was sure if I stayed up late...I ended up eating something...

 I did not have to ELIMINATE anything I like when I started....
After my body got used to eat small meals...I tried to eat healthier...but first I tried to eat small meals.
I just focused on one thing.

It was pretty tough to prepare 5-6 balanced meals and also it was challenging to keep this diet when I was out...

So I used shakes, bars and fruits as my "TO GO" snacks so if I had to go out after breakfast...I still got to eat something before the lunch.

Why do I recommend to eat 5-6 meals a day because I believe it helps our metabolism go up.
And for me...my "out of control" appetite became under control after start eating more often.

According to some articles I read before, if you do not eat longer than 3 hours, your body feel "Starving" and tries to store the next meal as fat to prepare for the next "starving"

But if you constantly eat (but small meals), your body think they do not have to store the food and your body use food as a fuel to move so your will get more NRG to workout.
