Infrequent meals vs. 5-6 meals a day…

Infrequent meals (2-3 meals per day) is likely to have been a common circumstance with our Paleolithic "hunter and gatherer" ancestors as they managed to make it from one meal to the next. Eating fewer meals has been shown to provide a plethora of health benefits. This is contrary to what we have been told for many years about eating smaller meals (5-6 a day) more frequently. Dr. Harris of PaNu, a well recognized practitioner of Paleolithic nutrition, offers his take on eating infrequent meals. Theories that support the 5-6 meals a day recommended by mainstream nutrition "experts" and popular diets such as "The Zone" are being challenged because we've discovered that a constant suppy (every 2-3 hours) of food causes, chronically elevated blood sugar which leads to a condition known as "hyperinsulinemia." My uncle Jack LaLanne, now 95 years old, has been eating 2 meals a day for the past 50 years and he's healthier than most men half his age. I have personally experimented with eating 2-3 meals per day along with Intermittent Fasting and the results have been amazing! Future posts will look at "Training in a fasted state" and "Intermittent Fasting"
