3 Meals a day, a better way to diet
A new U.S. study has revealed that eating three meals a day is a better strategy to burn some fat rather than grazing on several mini meals. Researchers from Purdue University in Indiana revealed that obese men on low-calorie, high-protein diets felt more satisfied and less hungry when they ate three times a day in comparison to six times a day. There is a widespread perception that it's better to eat little meals more often. "These mini-meals everyone is talking about don't seem to be as beneficial as far as appetite control," the Daily Mail quoted Heather Leidy, lead researcher, as saying. The researchers randomly assigned 27 overweight men to eat either a high-protein diet or a normal-protein diet for 12 weeks.
