FOX NEWS THE FIVE Focus: Eating Schedules– Friday THE FIVE Discussed the Health Benefits of Eating Meals Early and Avoid Eating Late and aging
THE FIVE on Friday, October 07, 2022, discussed a topic that is now getting a tremendous amount of attention in the news about eating schedules. Ever since December of 2014, I have discovered the benefits of eating according to our Circadian Rhythms; that we usually associate with our sleeping patterns of getting at least 8- hours of sleep per night. That same 8- hour schedule can be used for your meals as well. Just remember the movie NINE to FIVE.
This Circadian Rhythm pertains to our body’s natural clock on how it metabolizes, or processes, our food to be used as energy instead of storing our food as fat to help us battle the bulge. Our body’s can either process our food to be used as energy or store it as fat based on WHEN and WHAT we eat. The WHEN is eating between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the WHAT is eating a diet with a Health Index at or below a factor of 3.25 based on 7- component from the basic Nutrition Label on foods and off menu items at Restaurants.
Our body can either process our food as an energy source that is the healthier method, or can process our food and store it as fat that compromises our health, especially as we age. Just some of the health risk of being overweight or obese are: diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, including a compromised immune system to name just a few issues. Bottom line, being overweight or obese is a serious health issue.
One of the surprising contributing factors for hospitalizations during COVID-19 was hypertension and obesity that compromise our immune systems. There was a Wall Street Journal article entitled: The Science Backed Strategies that Will Actually Help You Eat Better that stated a shocking statistic that three-quarters (75%) of Americans adults over the age of 20 are either overweight or obese. That is a shocking statistic and should get all of our attention to lose weight by eating healthier and exercising.
Two Factors to Avoid Weight Gain, The WHEN and WHAT Factors
One of the contributing factors for such a high percentage of American’s being overweight or obese stems from our eating schedules or patterns, The WHEN Factor. More studies are pointing to the health risk associated with eating past 6 p.m. that contributed to weight gain instead of maintaining a healthy waistline and skin.
NOTE: Healthy Waistline is based on taking your height in inches and just divide by 2.
For example- My height is 5 ft- 6 in or 65- inches. My healthy waistline would than be 65/2 = 32.50 -inches. But, because I’m modeling my line of sportswear in my online store, I used a factor of 2.1 or 65/2.1 = 31- inch waistline. Photography adds about 2- inches to the appearance of your waistline.
Here is WHY the WHEN Factor is important to your weight lost- Our body start to metabolize food for energy at 9 a.m. and reaches its peak at 2 p.m. than it slows down at 5 p.m. to shutting down at 6 p.m. Eating past 6 p.m. our food is more likely to be stored as fat.
We have a gene that is called a thrifty gene. The thrift gene is a natural mechanism that allows the body to have a survive mode. So what we eat past 6 p.m. our body is processed as fat for survival conditions. So if we don’t burn our food as an energy source, our body’s stores it as fat until it can be used as energy at a later date for a calorie-burn. Make a mental note of calorie-burn, this will be an important second contributing factor of losing weight and inches based on WHAT we eat.
Nothing Ever Good Happens after 6 p.m. with Your Diet
But there is an even a more important reason not to eat past 6 p.m. due to the fact that eating past 6 p.m. adversely impacts the health and condition of the skin. Eating late interferes or completely interrupts the natural repair and rejuvenation of the skin during our sleeping hours. There are two key indicators of our health and fitness that are external that we see in the mirror or photos. One is a healthy waistline and the other is health of our skin that can defy your age.
Three months after I started my DELPHI DIET & CAST FITNESS System, I started seeing improvements in my skin even at the age of 57 when I retired to start my sportswear business. In the featured image, I’m 65 years old, seven years after starting my DELPHI DIET & CAST FITNESS System. I had such positive results from my DELPHI DIET & CAST FITNESS System that I started modeling my sportswear that I carry in my online store in August of 2015.
The WHAT Factor of the DELPHI DIET & FITNESS System
If WHEN was my engine to my weight loss, the WHAT Factor was my turbocharger in my success of losing over 9- inches, of dropping 52- pounds of weight, and dropping 30- years off the appearance of my skin. Like Micheal Jackson song- THE MAN in the MIRROR.
During my recovery from hip replacement surgery in November of 2014, I developed a Health Index (HI in DELPHI) that allowed me to determine WHAT food that I could eat to turn my body into a turbocharged calorie-burning juggernaut to use my food as an energy source instead of storing my food as a fat. Higher HI Factors leads to our body storing our food as a fat instead used as an energy source.
The Health Index (HI) Factor allows me to use 7- components from Nutrition Label that allowed me to turn my body into a calorie-burning juggernaut that was also helped by my fitness routine. I have in years past attempted to exercise myself into losing weight that turned out to be an object failure.
When I combined the WHEN I ate with WHAT I ate with my fitness routine, I lost weight where a majority of my inches and weight came off in just 8- weeks, see my Waistline Chart, below. Approximately for every inch in the waistline you lose is equivalent to 5.8 to 6.5 pounds of weight lost.
Set Key Indicators before You Start a Diet & Fitness Program
Before you start a diet and fitness program, you need to set an image of what success will look like to you, a measurable objective, and an adequate time period to achieve your goal. For me, it was the ability to model my sportswear (my image) and have a waistline below 50 percent of my height (my measurable objective). To model, I needed to divide my height by 2.1, or 47 percent of my height. So for me to model my sportswear, I needed a waistline of 31.0- inches (65/2.1= 31 inches).
Time Schedule- A safe rate of weight loss is approximately a quarter-of-a-inch per week (your time schedule). I had a waistline of 37.75- inches on November 28, 2014 and my objective was 31.0- inches, that meant that I needed to lose 6.75- inches. My time period (schedule) was then 6.75/0.25 = 27 weeks. So my target date was June 20, 2015. I achieved my weight loss ahead of schedule, in May 01, 2015, and achieved my objective as well, see my Waistline Chart above.
The Other Objective Achieved
Working hard to achieve your objective helps you develop self-esteem and confidence knowing that you have achieved something that was difficult; weight loss is no easy feat to accomplished. Dropping weight, inches, and years off the condition of my skin, provided me confidence to come from behind the camera to be in front of the camera, modeling. Even more critical than being in front of the camera, is posing for an AB Challenge, above, and in my GYM, below, working out with a boxing bag with a side shot pose. A side shot is one of the scrutinizing photoshoot that one can pose for.
My DELPHI DIET CAST FITNESS System are both in a book that is on KINDLE that you can purchase and lose weight and inches even before the holidays. I lost 6- inches in only 8- weeks. But don’t be surprised if you drop years off the condition of your skin as well:
