Ever heard people say “you are what you eat”?Someone only told you half of the story.] The second part of that story is: you are when you eat! If you plan your meals from smallest to biggest, this is exactly how your figure will look. This principle is a key component in any holistic nutrition program.

I bet you are slightly confused right now… Let me explain.

Can you tell me what food is really?It is energy for the body.If food gives us energy, then what part of the day requires the most?The best meal to eat the most calories is breakfast.

When should we eat our biggest meal based on energy requirements? Breakfast. Then lunch, then dinner.

Going through a normal day, let’s take a look at a typical modern US diet. Captain Crunch for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and fried chicken, mashed potatoes, butter soaked corn, and a piece of apple pie for dessert.

You ideally want your daily meal plan to be an upside down triangle, filtering the least amount of calories to the end of the day, and giving the body the most at the beginning of the day so that it has all day to burn your calories off.

 

For Example:

Have oatmeal, eggs and some fresh fruit for breakfast.

A chicken ceasar wrap for lunch with a side of raw carrots

Kabobs for supper with a tossed salad.

The meal size gradually became smaller, but still has plenty of nutrition stuffed inside it.You always want to eat the least amount of calories before you go to sleep.Since you are not expending energy moving around, your body will take the food and store it in your fat cells for a rainy day. A good natural weight loss and detox program makes sure that you keep a healthy weight by using foundational principles like the pyramid principle.

The second part of this rule is to make sure that you don’t eat past 7pm. Your body is starting to wind down into the rest and repair mode, and you are more likely to store your food as fat.

Remember: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen and dinner like a pauper and you should increase your weight loss by 100%
