Slimming Today

Breakfast Like A King, Dinner Like A Prince, Supper Like A Pauper

I remember when I was growing up my father used to constantly drum this into me and my siblings.

The reasoning was that, when you wake up in the morning, you’ve literally been fasting all night and your metabolism has slowed down somewhat.

So, you need to feed your body to get it back in gear.

And, as the day goes on, you need less food because you’ve already had some, and there are less hours in the day till bed-time.

Supper is the smallest meal of the day because, basically, you eat for what you intend to do — not what you’re already done.

And sleeping is not exactly an active state to be in.

Now, I don’t really care to know what the scientists think about these points, especially as it takes them an age just to come to the same conclusion my father arrived at, through sheer common sense, decades ago.

I know it’s worked for me all these years.  I am now in my 40s, and still looking and feeling younger than most people my age.

Breakfast Like A King, Dinner Like A Prince, Supper Like A Pauper

I’d say that’s a pretty good maxim to live by, if you want to stay healthy and in shape.

The only thing I did, that was extra, was to take the odd supplements to increase my vitamin and protein intake, having trained all my life in various physical pursuits.
