The modern western diet has done a lot of things to the way we eat often with deleterious effects. One example is the balance between our fed and fasted states. With easy 24 hour access to food many of us now eat from the moment we wake till the moment we sleep.
Unsurprisingly this makes it far easier to overeat. By restoring the balance between our fed and fasted states we can reduce the total amount of calories consumed whilst simultaneously promoting an internal environment more conducive to the mobilising and burning of stored body fat.
Examples include eating your first meal a little bit later in the morning, eating your final meal a little bit earlier in the evening or reducing the frequency of snacks between meals.
