The first advice for those who have to lose weight is that instead of eating a lot of food in one goes, you should eat little by little. There are two problems with this. Firstly, people are not able to do this and secondly, something healthy is not available to eat every two hours. The rule of eating every two hours is so popular that people automatically start following it. If something like this happens without consulting a dietician, then surely the problem increases.
Expert Dietician Anjali Mukherjee, who trains Miss India contestants, has shared information related to this on Instagram. Anjali is working in this field for almost 20 years and she is also a diet tips expert.
According to Anjali, this common perception is not true for all. For some, this rule can prove to be beneficial and for some, it can also be harmful.
Eating something every two hours will cause problems in digestion.
According to Anjali, this rule will prove beneficial only for those people whose metabolism is already very fast. Those who do not have to face any kind of problem-related to digestion. If anyone else tries to do it, he will get digestive problems. They will feel like they are having indigestion.
Global Lifestyle Coach Luke Coutinho has also talked about the same in his Facebook Live session. He believes that if everyone tries to do this kind of thing, then some people may also have gastric problems and it can cause a lot of trouble.
What benefits of eating something every two hours?
First of all, let's tell why it is asked to eat every two hours and why this rule is so popular.
According to a post by Kareena Kapoor's nutritionist RujutaDiwekar, if you eat something every two hours, the calories consumed in one go are very less. Yes, the thing to keep in mind is that you should eat only in limited quantities.
By eating every two hours, you train your stomach in such a way that it does not remain very hungry and there is no problem of overeating at one go. Eating a lot of food at one go is that we eat more than our diet without thinking, due to which the weight increases. Every time your body goes into the process of digesting food, calorie burning takes place in the body. As a result, energy cannot be converted into fat.
For weight loss, this trick of eating little by little has been considered right, but here also the question is the same whether it is right for everyone.
Eating every two hours is not right for everyone
If you change your diet frequently, you will have problems with digestion. According to Anjali, people who have intestinal problems like gut dysbiosis, people who have high insulin levels, low insulin levels, pre-diabetic people, people who Are not physically active, and even those who have pre-menstrual syndrome should stay away from this rule.
Anjali says that in such a situation, stomach-related problems can increase. This is because they will have a lot of problems digesting food daily.
In such a case, the insulin response will also change and your weight will increase. Not only this, but gastric problems can also lead to stroke etc.
This is the reason that before making any such change in the diet, you must consult a doctor.
