Effect Of Two Meal Regimen On Weight Loss Among Obese Adults: A Literature Review

Mrs. Nutan Makasare, Prof. Dr. Seema Singh

Abstract :

Obesity is a major risk factors for a number of diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. Meal timing or frequency of meals is an important aspect of nutrition, with profound effects on human health and lifespan. Excessive energy intake or frequently eating is associated with an increased incidence of chronic diseases including diabetes. Recent human studies suggest that two meal regimen associates with improved effectiveness of weight-loss therapy in overweight and obese adults and also causes statistically significant reduction in fasting insulin levels and HbA1C in patients with pre-diabetes. Recent findings suggest that it may be possible for many people to adopt a long-term change in their lifestyle from eating 3 meals plus snacks every day to two meal regimen if they are able to keep on the new eating pattern during a transition period of approximately 3 to 6 months.
