Eating three square meals a day is old-fashioned and unhealthy. It is also bad for you.
When you eat at fixed meal-times, you will often be eating whether you are hungry or not. And because you and your body know that it will be some hours before you eat another big meal there is a tendency to overeat. This is bad for you in two main ways. First, the amount of food in a large meal puts a great strain on your digestive system. Second, your body will store the excess food as fat so that you can live off the fatty stores while you are not eating. But your next fixed meal time will probably come along just before your body starts burning up those fat stores and the result is that you will gain unnecessary weight.
By eating little and often – nibbling, snacking or `grazing' – your health will benefit in many ways. And your IBS will be far less troublesome.
Eating at fixed meal times is, as far as your body is concerned, a bizarre, unnatural and thoroughly irrational way to eat. Your body doesn't just need food three times a day. It needs energy supplies all day long. By choosing to eat fixed meals you create problems for yourself. Meal times are not natural. They were invented because they just happen to fit in with the way most of us work and live. If you get most of your calories three times a day at fixed meal times then you are almost certain to end up overweight. Calories that aren't burnt up straight away will end up stuck on your hips. And however much you try to diet the chances are that you will fail.
Here’s why you should never eat another meal again:
* When you eat at fixed mealtimes you eat whether you are hungry or not. Instead of obeying your body's inbuilt appetite control centre, you eat because the clock shows that it is time to eat. Your body's internal appetite control can make sure that you never get fat – if only you let it. But eating meals at fixed meal times means that your natural appetite control centre doesn't get a chance to work properly.
* When you eat at fixed mealtimes you tend to eat what is available, what you have prepared or what you have been given – whether you need it or not. It is easy to eat the wrong foods – and to eat too much.
* Because you and your body know that it will be some hours before you eat another big meal, there is a tendency to overeat. While you're changing your eating habits you should also make a real effort to eat less. Most of us eat far too much – dangerously overloading our bodies!
* Every time you are about to eat ask yourself if you are genuinely hungry. If you are – then eat! But as soon as your hunger has gone – stop eating!
* Remember that you should always check with your doctor before changing your diet – particularly if you are undergoing treatment of any kind or are not in the best of health.
* If you are going to start eating snacks or mini meals then you must stop eating meals. You can't eat mini meals and ordinary meals as well!
* You don't have to be unsociable and leave your family and friends to eat alone. If they want a meal, sit down with them but just eat a snack.

Their Terrifying Plan
Dr Vernon Coleman
Dr Vernon Coleman’s latest book `Their Terrifying Plan’ explains how insane, billionaire globalists are plotting to take over the world and details precisely how they have created a terrifying future designed to change life for everyone alive and for every generation to come. In the first part of the book he discusses the way things are changing. And he then provides a detailed account of the way unelected pressure groups, alliances and lobbyists such as the Council for Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, NATO and the WEF have taken control of everything we do. He shows how the United Nations, governments, bankers and banking institutions (such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements) have, for the best part of a century overthrown governments, started wars, deliberately created crises, stolen land, oil and other natural resources. He shows how the climate change myth and a fake pandemic were deliberately created in order to manipulate the weak and the easily led. `Their Terrifying Plan’ is a comprehensive summary of the conspiracy now threatening our freedom and our humanity.
`Their Terrifying Plan’ is available as a paperback and an eBook via the bookshops on www.vernoncoleman.org and www.vernoncoleman.com
The Author
Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc has been writing about drug companies and the medical profession for over 50 years. His first book `The Medicine Men’, published in 1975, was the first to question the relationship between the drug industry and the medical establishment. Since then he has written over 100 books (including many international bestsellers).
In February 2020, he told readers of his website www.vernoncoleman.com that the risks associated with the coronavirus were exaggerated. At the beginning of March 2020, he explained how and why the mortality figures had been distorted. On March 14th 2020 he warned that the Government’s policies would result in far more deaths than the disease itself.
In a YouTube video recorded on 18th March 2020, Dr Coleman warned that governments would use the fake `crisis’ to oppress the elderly, to introduce compulsory inoculation and to begin to replace cash with digital money.
He revealed that the infection had been downgraded on March 19th when the public health bodies in the UK and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens decided that the `crisis’ infection should no longer be classified as a ‘high consequence infectious disease’. Just days after the significance of the infection had been officially downgraded, governments around the world put millions of people under house arrest.
Dr Coleman was immediately banned from all social media (Facebook told him he could not join because he would be a threat to their `community’). Publishers banned his books and articles. YouTube deleted his `Old Man in a Chair’ channel, removed videos with millions of views and even banned him from looking at other people’s videos. He was demonised, lied about and libelled.
Throughout 2020, Dr Coleman issued a series of videos (often one a day) detailing the dangers of the covid-19 `vaccine’ and produced a number of books including `Coming Apocalypse’, `Covid-19: The Greatest Hoax in History’, `Endgame’, `Social Credit: Nightmare on Your Street’, `Proof that Face Masks do more Harm than Good’ and `They want your money and your life’. His other books include `Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying: Here’s the Proof’ and `How to stop your doctor killing you’.
Dr Coleman, a former GP principal, is a Sunday Times bestselling author. His books have sold over three million copies in the UK, been translated into 26 languages and sold in over 50 countries. Prior to March 2020 he had published over 5,000 articles and papers in newspapers, magazines and journals and had written columns for dozens of leading newspapers and magazines around the world. He was the founding editor of the British Clinical Journal and founded and published the European Medical Journal. Numerous TV and radio series have been based on his books. His novel `Mrs Caldicot’s Cabbage War’ (about the oppression and mistreatment of the elderly) was turned into a highly successful, award winning film. In the UK, he has given evidence about the pointlessness of animal experimentation to the House of Commons and the House of Lords and his campaigns have over many decades changed Government policy. He has lectured doctors and nurses in numerous countries.
