Exercise: Plan the Time and Size of Your Meals

Again, if weight loss and/or fatigue are the issues you’d like to address, or if you simply want to increase your energy level, try the following. Experiment with having a more substantial breakfast, make lunch your biggest meal whenever possible—or at least make it more robust if you usually eat lightly at this time. If you normally have a large dinner, try to make it smaller in size than it already is. Decrease it by approximately 10 to 20 percent. The goal is to eventually make dinner a smaller meal than your lunch.

If you find that you feel hungrier in the midmorning once you begin eating a larger breakfast, don’t be upset with me. This is a great sign—it means your metabolism has increased. Your furnace is hotter and calling for more fuel, and you’re recovering your natural appetite.

Timing is everything. Try to have your breakfast somewhere in the 6:30 to 9:00 AM range. Avoid having a later breakfast. Try to have your lunch in the 12:00 to 1:30 PM range. This is your peak metabolic time slot. Be aware that the later your breakfast, the more you’ll be likely to push lunch past this time.

Do your best to eat dinner approximately four hours before bedtime. If you’re the kind of person who eats very late and goes to bed right after meals, eating even an hour earlier will make a difference. Have a walk after a late dinner to enhance digestion. If you know you’re going to have a late dinner, don’t come to the table ravenous. Have a substantial snack about two hours before dinner. This will decrease your appetite and allow you to eat smaller portions.
