Even in today's busy world, a lot of people still like to arrange at least one daily or at least weekly meal on a schedule (usually dinner). The goal is normally to include everyone in the family.
This type of schedule allows parents to witness what children are eating (at least once during the day) and also creates a chance to bond for the family.
More modern dietary suggestions recommend several small meals rather than a few large ones. If the overall caloric intake is the same, why would this make a difference?
Blood sugar is ever changing even during sleep. When food is consumed and digestion starts, blood sugar is raised. After blood sugar is consumed, it is lowered. This results in headaches, hunger and even irritability.
Smaller meals consumed more often can stabilize blood sugar and create an optimal level of metabolism. Maintaining a higher level of energy increases the liklihood of being physically active.
Some of the more recent studies though suggest that in losing weight, overall caloric intake should be reduced - no matter how many meals someone eats. If this is true, eating patterns could certainly be less restricted.
When attempting to deny interim cravings, most people who have attempted to lose weight find that the hunger leads to a loss of will power. Research confirms this too - skipping meals creates undesirable effects when one does finally eat.
When trying to lose weight by skipping meals, who hasn't been tempted or fallen victim to the call of "fast food" rather than taking the time to prepare a nutritious snack instead?
It the end, it comes down to what works for an individual. How are you most likely to stick to nutritional foods and not overeat each day?
Some people hate to miss out on at least one larger meal. Often, it comes back to the opportunity to bond over the dinner table. Many people get great joy in cooking and eating together.
But "dieting" doesn't have to eiliminate the opportunity to eat together. Try to make meal preparation and presentation enjoyable rather than setting a goal of creating a huge buffet "spread."
I also highly recommend my all natural Weight Loss Breeze Program. It actually does not require special dietary restrictions and can be easily incorporated into any other healthy life style choices you are making.
