THE WORLD'S OLDEST AND HEALTHIEST DIET: K.I.S.S. HEALTH PROBLEMS GOOD-BYE - THOU SHALT NOT EAT LIKE A PIG

"Pigging out" is "out'; "grazing" is "in'. Three square meals a day, with no between-meal nibbling is NOT where it's at. Eating four, five - even six - mini-meals a day is an excellent way to lose weight, get the most nutritional benefit from your food, and may even help ward off heart disease.
A Pennsylvania State University weight loss specialist finds people burn more calories 'nibbling' than consuming the same amount of food in three meals. Men placed on a 'nibbling diet' of 17 snacks a day by Dr. David J. A. Jenkins, professor of medicine and nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto showed "lowered concentrations of the bad types of cholesterol (LDL) and lipoproteins (apolipoprotein B), both associated with increased risk for heart disease, without lowering levels of HDLs (high density lipoproteins) that are recognized as beneficial."
The new research confirms findings from similar studies conducted 25 years ago, when investigators first learned 'nibbling' places less of a strain on the digestive system -and the heart - than a large meal. The less food the body must cope with at once, the more efficiently it can metabolize it.
To be a healthy nibbler.-
• Space small frequent meals throughout the day WITHOUT eating more than you normally would.
• Be careful what you nibble on - fresh fruit, vegetables, low-fat cheese, low-fat yogurt - are all O.K. Potato chips, crackers, ice cream, candy and cake are not.
