-- Posted by anc8469 at 3:35 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 How can someone eat 3 meals a day and include all the food groups and till loose weight???? I don't see how that's possible. I eat 1 meal a day and some fruit if I get hungry. If your not hungry, your not suppose to eat!! OMG my parents get on my last nerves. And I don't want to hear that, "Oh there just doing this because they love and care about you." I'm ticked right now, and tha'ts all I've heard so far. I know they care about me, but I mean they should just back off!! -- Posted by Natsy at 3:35 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 i know i hate it when people tell me to eat when i'm not hungry -- Posted by Descartes at 3:36 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 hey i only eat when im hungry to...but im a swimmer so thats like 8 times a day lol -- Posted by Link01 at 3:36 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 seriously 1 meal a day is NOT good for you. -- Posted by The Patekip at 3:36 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 They don't want you to develop an eating disorder. -- Posted by ThatGuy411 at 3:36 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 doesent it just make you wnana fight lil kids? -- Posted by LittleBombs at 3:37 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I know how you feel. =/ My mum is always nagging for me to eat more. But I'm never that hungry but she just doesn't seem to get that. Meh. -- Posted by hersheyparker at 3:37 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Eat 6 times a day (small meals). This will stimulate your metabolism to be constantly burning. Make sure you get lots of water and some exercise and you'll be good to go! -- Posted by OMGOMGOGM at 3:38 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 I eat like a fuckin pedophilic priest and I dont get fat at all! -- Posted by Jawbreaker at 3:38 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Some bitches are stupid. -- Posted by meow666 at 3:38 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 you're supposed to eat even when you're not really hungry, just not pig out every time you eat...stops your metabolism fluctuating throughout the day and whatnot... -- Posted by forfallonyy at 3:40 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 lol mi parents gave me a eating disorder and i dont give a shit i lost weight -- Posted by taraxgoesxboom at 3:40 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 They're telling you that because it's not healthy. -- Posted by Rebecca li at 3:40 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 You're suppose to eat more then 3 times a day, somewhere around 6. Three meals, and three snacks between meals. You're body never knows when it's going to get food, so it stores fat. But if you eat constantly (6 healthy meals/snacks) and work out, your body knows it's getting food, and doesn't have to store anything. So you loose weight. -- Posted by bigredron at 3:41 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 3 meals is nothing, i dont know how people can eat so little. I eat 5-6 meals a day sometimes up to 8. You will be amazes how much more energy you have. The meals dont have to be big ones, just 3 big ones and light snacks in between, and you CAN actually maintain/lose weight this way as your body does not need to store much fat as you are getting regular energy -- Posted by okumsup at 3:42 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Someone was telling me that eating 3 meals a day is necessary for losing weight, if you eat too little it doesn't help, and too much of course doesn't help. I can't back it up or go into detail 'cause I don't remember any of it :( -- Posted by meow666 at 3:46 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Quote: from Rebecca li at 3:40 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 You're suppose to eat more then 3 times a day, somewhere around 6.

So you loose weight. agreed, the less you eat, the more weight you'll find you put on, as your digestive system will become more efficient with regards to absorbing sugars and fats to be able to fuel you for when you aren't eating... -- Posted by guesswut14 at 3:07 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 its not that hard to lose weight and eat three meals a day with all the food groups go to mypyramid.com -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 9:51 pm on Dec. 4, 2008 I ccan so relate to this -- Posted by merryberrycherry at 4:16 pm on Dec. 5, 2008 I don't really get it from my parents anymore because I've learnt my ways around them. But I totally get the anger coming from the little comments about skipping a meal. I don't get how people could eat 2000cals EVERY DAY?! I mean I eat like 200 a day and still manage to gain ffs. Well few I'm glad I got my vent then haha. Good luck x -- Posted by HeyWolfGirl at 1:13 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 I know how you feel. My dad force feeds me, even when I'm not hungry. And it's a bunch of crap like hohos and ice cream -- Posted by Colleen35 at 11:33 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Generally, the more meals someone eats in a day, the smaller each meal is.  So people who eat three meals eat less in each meal than those who eat one or two. That said, people have incredibly different metabolisms, so comparing to other people might not work out. -- Posted by Scarlet Tears at 11:42 pm on Dec. 6, 2008 Quote: from Natsy at 3:35 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 i know i hate it when people tell me to eat when i'm not hungry Yeh same I know how you feel. -- Posted by static nightmare at 2:53 am on Dec. 7, 2008 As others have said you will loose weight faster if you eat more meals, not less. You obviously do not know very much about nutrition. Please go and learn about it. bodybuilding.com has some good articles on nutrition and weight loss.
