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.

* 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.
