Surprise - Snacking Is The Healthiest Way To Eat :shock:

[tex]

Hi All,

Apparently all the advice that we've received in the past about how unhealthy it is to snack between meals, is wrong. The way things are going, I'm beginning to wonder if anything that we've ever been told about healthy eating is correct.

"There is a widely held belief that snacking cannot be a part of a healthy diet," said study researcher Claire A. Zizza, an associate professor of nutrition at Auburn University in Alabama.

But the study showed that the more a person snacked, the more likely he or she was to eat both healthy snacks and healthy meals, Zizza said. "The increase was slight, but was still apparent."

Of course, in view of the fact that this is exactly the way that the paleo hunter-gatherers ate for hundreds of thousands of years, I really don't understand why we're supposed to be surprised at that news.

Love,
Tex

I have been following a 5 - 6 small portion snack or meal eating plan for YEARS....
It worked for me so i stuck with it

the bit i find quite ironically funny, that someone invested money to research this so someone could publish a paper on it?????

I suppose we should be happy that it wasnt big phama funded
