Is it good for a diet to share meals several times?
So you can divide 3 meals into 5 meals and eat it's like that.
A health trainer says that sharing like this helps you lose weight, but I don't know why.
Eat it for 3 meals or 5 meals anyway, but it would be the same in terms of the total amount.
Who wants to explain for your understanding?

Rather than eating three meals a day by day,
If I eat 5 meals a day, I eat a little per meal
Wouldn't it be because you're eating a little bit and you're using up your energy quickly?
Sharing meals is a well-known way to lose weight.
The reason is that if you actually eat multiple meals, insulin is secreted to break down glucose every time you eat.
One of the insulin functions is to store carbohydrates as fat.
So more carbohydrates are converted into fat.
Once it's converted to fat, it's pretty hard to turn it back into an energy source.
So when you share meals, you become more prone to gain weight.
If it's for diet purposes, it's rather helpful to eat a meal in a short time and not eat anything in the rest of the time.
For example, eat all meals within 8 hours and do not eat any food containing calories for the remaining 16 hours.
If you do this, it's not easy to gain weight.
I agree with you.
I only eat breakfast and lunch, but besides the reason why you mentioned it, it helps me lose weight
I can't eat a lot because my stomach got smaller after eating only two meals.
I feel full even if I eat a little bit.
That's why it's easier to lose weight.
Instead, I eat as much as I want during breakfast and lunch.
Even if I eat like this, I get full so I can't eat it.
I lost a lot of weight.
