Grazing & Weight Loss

God compares us to sheep many times throughout the Bible. Perhaps he was observing our eating habits during some of His references! Like sheep, many of us do like to graze.  Grazing isn't necessarily a bad thing when it comes to weight loss.  Here are the negatives and positives:

The Positives: Spacing your meals out during the day can supercharge a slow metabolism. Rather than eating three times per day, plan to eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. Many people have achieved great weight loss results by using this dieting technique. 

The Negatives: Some dieters have trouble bingeing when using this weight loss technique because they must face food more often than 'standard dieting', so the temptation is greater.

Around the Clock Grazing: Another rather serious form of grazing stems from 'continuous' eating. We aren't talking about baby carrots, either. It may be 2 cookies for breakfast, a donut for break time with a regular large soda, a pack of peanut butter crackers before lunch, a sizable lunch - and so forth. Not only does this add pounds, it stretches the tummy.  Avoid this type of grazing or weight gain will ensue!
