Late Night Diets

Last night while ruminating over not so great appetizers at CheeseCake factory, my friend shared his diet plan to me that has led him to be in quite possibly the best shape of his life.

His weight loss diet plan is a common one: 5 five meals per day. The catch is that his "meals" are more snack-equivalent with the key being that he doesn't fill his stomach each meal. In essence he trains his body to accept lower amounts of food on the expectation that more food will come a few hours later. The body survives at less calories per meal, must utilize all the food as energy (since the quantity is less), and energy is processed digesting the food. Additionally, the less amount of food consumed in each of these meals prevents food from conglomerating in ones stomach and being converted to fat.

This diet has helped my friend lose 20 pounds in a little over 3 months.

Today's I made pancakes cause I was craving them but I was faced which oil to use because it seems our family is obsessed with varying oils: soybean oil, coconut oil, canola oil, or olive oil. I choose Olive oil because I thought the food would taste more fresh and less like oil, but for some reason the pancakes didn't cook as well in olive oil versus the soybean oil I later utilized.
