Are you unable to lose excess weight due to constant “breakdowns”?

Then remember how you eat. This is primarily about your diet.

Do you limit yourself to just breakfast, lunch and dinner? Or even skip one of these meals?

In this case, the reason for the failures is found. You do not follow the important rule "3+2".

The essence of the “3+2” rule

Many dieters are convinced that there should be only three meals a day: morning, afternoon and evening.

This is a misguided approach, especially if each of these meals is low in calories.

The fact is that it is very difficult for a person who is faced with a calorie deficit to “hold out” until the next meal.

After all, you have to wait too long: between breakfast and lunch, and also between lunch and dinner - several hours.

In order not to “break down”, you need not only 3 main meals, but also 2 intermediate meals (hence the name of the rule - “3+2”).

Plan to have one snack between your morning and afternoon meals, and one between your afternoon and evening meals.

In this case, you will not experience a strong feeling of hunger, even if all meals and snacks are very light. In addition, there will be no sharp change in blood glucose levels.
