Post 3 hr. Diet - A Reminder

Eat every three hours and you will lose weight - starting with belly fat first.

Studies suggest that people who eat the right foods every three hours lose fat around their middle first! Why? Because WHEN you eat is critical for increasing your energy, suppressing appetite and lowering the levels of cortisol, the belly bulging hormone!

A major study at the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto showed that by increasing the frequency of when you eat for just two weeks, subjects reduced the their levels of Cortisol by 17% 1. This study showed that a diet made up of smaller and more frequent meals not only lowered the levels of Cortisol, but also reduced levels of insulin and cholesterol.


By following the 3-Hour Diet™ and reducing the level of Cortisol in your body, it becomes easier to lose stubborn Belly Fat First™. By eating three meals, two between-meal snacks and an after-dinner treat under the 3-Hour Diet™ plan you will not only lose an average of 2 pounds per week, but you will improve your levels of insulin and cholesterol.





1 - Nibbling vs. Gorging: Metabolic Advantages if Increased Meal Frequency by D. Jenkins, et. al. (1999); Department of Medicine, University of Toronto


* Three is the magic number because by going more than three hours between meals puts your body in a starvation mode and cause you to burn precious fat burning muscle. But by eating every three hours your metabolism stays revved and reduces the stress hormone cortisol, which is responsible for stubborn belly fat.

That is really good information! TY! I have long wondered if there wasn't a way to lower cortisol levels by diet - I mean we know insulin levels are affected, why not another hormone like cortisol!!??!... Thanks for posting this!

Talking Awesome!

Thanks so much for the information. Any reason I can find to justify eating (even if its smaller portions) is a winner in my book! I presume that when you mention "the right foods" its just what we're supposed to eat and not any magical combination of foods, right?

The 3 hour diet has some portion rules (see the posts above and the book) but I do find it is very flexible and as long as the overall calories are in check you will be fine.
