Why Grazing (Eating All Day) Is a Bad Idea

People ask me, aren’t we supposed to eat all day long? 🐮🐴

Have 10 or 15 small meals? 🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏 🍏

🤔 You mean every time you walk away from the table, you're walking away unsatisfied and be hungry again an hour later? 😵

Why would I ever want to be unsatisfied after I eat? Isn't the entire point of eating to satiate yourself, to satisfy your appetite?

👉 I'm absolutely convinced that we are designed to eat meals and not graze 🙂 Our natural inclination is not one of grazing.

True. And more important is that you dont trigger insulin level all day. So 2 meals per day in the window of 6 hours are max. Then you have 18 hours to rest your body on only water. This was game changer for me!

What a great explanation! Personally, I have always enjoyed both meals big enough to keep me satisfied for a couple of hours and the digestive REST in between meals.

I've never been able to feel full on 80-10-10. I ate and still A LOT of fruit, but 1. I don't want to eat that much fruit (I feel unhealthfully full, and sick afterwords), and 2. when I eat a decent sized meal of bananas let's say (say 6-8), it never fills me up, and I'm hungry again in 1 hour. Eating this way requires eating A LOT of fruit, I dare say, as compared to just eating a little bit of potatoes for instance, or some starch. I, personally, haven't had the experience of eating fruit and staying full for a long time unless I downright stuff myself. I think fruit doesn't give you that satiation factor like legumes or starch do, despite the fact that maybe we don't digest them as well... so I add them from time to time, for a top off.
Any recommendations?
I'll also say this -- when you're diabetic, if you eat TONS of fruit all day, you MUST, must, must do tons of exercise. 80-10-10 doesn't work well if you're sedentary.

Are you suggesting that 5 hours average between meals is a positive time frame for your digestive system to rest properly?
Thank you Doctor Graham happy to meet you in this channel every time.

Ok but you do start and stop when grazing

I completely agree with your view. Just one question - how do people with blood sugar issues overcome spikes when eating large fruit meals? I wish I could eat 5 bananas at once BUT my blood sugar goes up to 180 after 4 bananas and I have to stay with 2 of them leaving me hungry for sure. I have watched lots of your videos and the blood sugar issue is not addressed anywhere. Please, consider making a video about this very common hurdle, thank you

Hi doctor is banana bad for sleep apne?

[zbubsi]

I am sorry for saying something unrelated to your video, I forgot to tell you you remind me of my uncle to. I am telling you because it has been helpful to feel like I have a friend who I feel familiar to to watch their videos so that I can trust you’re right

[twilightlove]

I’m eating 3 lbs of carrots. It takes me 2 hours 😂

[water-dyuu]

what should someone who gets full easily do then?

[GoRodent]

Don't silverback mountain gorillas graze?
