will likely fail because of snacking during the day, precisely at the time between breakfast and lunch. Why, the urge to snack on a relatively short time between breakfast and lunch can be a sign of unhealthy eating habits.
"Snacking is done late in the morning may be a reflection of unconscious eating habits, not eating to satisfy hunger," said researcher Anne McTiernan, director of prevention center Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association enrolled 123 women who are overweight and obese aged 50 to 75 years.
The participants are participating in research designed to help you lose weight and tested the effects of diet and exercise on breast cancer.
As many as 97 percent of women eating small meals every day. 19 percent of them snacking at 10:30 to 11:30. While time snacking is most common among study participants is in the afternoon between 14:00 and 17:30, as many as 76 percent.
Women are snacking in the morning tend to be more frequent snacking throughout the day. Research also shows that 47.8 percent of participants who were eating lunch snack three or more snacks per day.
While 38.9 percent of women who eat a snack at night claim to only eat a snack that's all.
Actually, eating healthy snacks that can help the success of the program because it can prevent the starvation diet. A study showed that people who snack a little healthier than those without snacking.
Why, people are snacking eating more fruit and whole grains than people who do not snack.
In previous studies, women who ate two or three snacks per day had a higher fiber intake than women who ate one snack per day or who do not eat at all. And those who have a snack in the afternoon asipan fruits and vegetables are higher than those without. snacking.
"Snacking can be part of the equipment on a diet, if eaten to respond to hunger well," said McTiernan, as quoted from the Health Sec livescience.com, Tuesday (29/11/2011).
Unfortunately, research has found that eating habits in the U.S. has changed. Increasingly influenced by the temptation to eat other than hunger, so people get to eat more often without considering the common sense (mindless eating).
Mindless eating causes the body to consume extra calories but does not cause the body to eat less at subsequent meals.
"People who undergo weight-loss diet program should be educated on how to incorporate healthy foods in his diet," said McTiernan.
