Two Meals a Day

[Guest guest]

Here is a thought that came from a Pastor called " ph Prince " from

New Creation Church in Singapore. He talked during one of his sermons

on how it is scriptural to eat only two meals a day. Now in America

we have been taught to eat three meals a day and sometimes at that,

they are large meals. Pastor Prince, commented that the ones teaching

this are the advertisers who are trying to get us to buy something.

Be it large dishes or more food. He also made a really profound

comment, which was that if we skip one meal we will not die. Now

don't get condemned or offended if you eat more than two meals. As

the Pastor was preaching on this, he was only encouraging that it

could be good to eat only two meals a day. But if you want to eat 10

meals a day that is your choice, this was just something to think

about. The pastor also mentioned that if you are sick, he has seen

many people get better by just eating two meals a day.

I just thought that this might be something to consider.

That won't work for me. I have hypoglycemia and get terribly shaky,

headachy, can't think or function if I don't eat a little something,

frequently. I never had a large meal, however. I have not had an episode

of hypoglycemia since I started eating that way. I think each person has to

do what sounds right for them.

I would completely agree with what you said that everyone needs to do

what they feel is right for their body and Pastor Prince would also

agree. I was just submitting an idea.

I myself also have been diagnosed with hyperglycemia. One thing you

can do to help yourself with this is to eat brown rice. Rice acts as

a stabilizer. I don't recall all the exact medical reasons why rice

helps.

I also know that I got a lot better when I got rid of my microwave.

Research in European nations have shown that microwave ovens

contaminates all food that goes in it with mild levels of radiation

poisoning. It is not severe enough to kill but what it has been shown

to do is weaken the immune system.

Then there is the who change in me to stop using chemical drugs from

doctors and such and turn to herbal medicine. There are also natural

antibiotics out in the field. Then there is also chanca peidra which

has mutiple applications including being refered to as the stone breaker.

Besides all that there are other remedies for hypoglycemia which I

just don't recall right now. Did you have to go through that aughful

8 hour blood sugar test? Yuck, except for that super sugar drink,

which I gulped down. The nurses said we knew you was hypoglycemic

just by the way I guzzled the drink. So I think it was rather rotten

of them to keep drawing blood every hour.

Anyways, if I remember more of what I did for the hypoglycemia I write

some more.

My husband has type 2 diabetes and he can't eat any form of rice or it will

raise his blood sugar.

It was not necessary in my case as my symptoms made it evident enough.

Eating small amounts, frequently, totally solved the problem. I remember

one day when I had not eaten for 7 hours, I was in a grocery store and

suddenly didn't know why I was there and just wanted to sit down and cry.

I can't really think of an instance where eating twice a day would be

good for anyone. Done over the long course, they would be likely to

gain weight and develop blood sugar problems.

Many nutritionists believe that weight control is all about calories

in/calories out. But that is not so. It's more important how you take

in the calories. There was a study done on rats. One group was given 3

large meals each day. The second group was given the same food, but

spread out into smaller meals throughout the day. The first group

became obese and the second group maintained their weight. This is

because extreme blood sugar swings is what causes us to " collect fat " .

Keeping it level by eating low-glycemic foods every 2-3 hours is not

only healthier for hypo- or hyper- glycemics, it is healthier for

people as a whole.

Brown rice is a better choice than white rice, but it needs to be eaten

in moderation. Fruits, veggies, and good fats/oils are much more

important than brown rice. And diabetics should stay away from it.

People who eat more animal fats can go longer without eating, which is

perhaps what they ate twice a day?

I totally agree. Every time a person eats something, it revs up the

metabolism.

Well I have to say that I don't give much credit to any scientific

studies even ones done by nutritionists in regards to what they say is

good for you and what isn't. Every few years someone is always

changing their mind about what is good and what isn't good. Besides

this the question arises in my mind about what kind of food where they

feeding these rates. Was it actually 100% organic or not. Was the

food some kind of hybrid or was it real food - heirloom.

Alot of what is really effect our bodies are all the toxins we are

bombarded with. We are feed hybrid food which has %40 more sugars in

it compared to natural food - heirloom. There has been some

universities that have been doing studies on how pesticides on the

food remain in trace amounts. And that these trace amounts are enough

to adversely effect our health. The one thing I have not seen though

is how are these poisons effect people who may have greater adverse

response to these chemicals.

There has also been some studies to show that these chemicals and

toxins we are being exposed to are causing alot of the modern diseases

we face. But unfortunately no one is doing large studies, so

therefore when one university studies one aspect of pesticides the

special interest groups come out and say we need more studies before

we can identify this has bad. But no one does the study. So the

public is mislead into thinking that there must not be anything wrong

with our contaminated food.

I also do not agree with the idea of eating rice in moderation because

of oriental people who eat rice every day and they are healthier than

americans.

In the end please understand this is just my opinion and that I am for

each person eating how they feel is right for them. Because despite

western medicine every body is not the same. My father in law was a

perfect example of this. A number of times when the doctors wanted to

find his organs, in particular his gall bladder they could not find

it. Some of his organs where not where their stereotypes said they

should be.

Also since I am a firm believer in the Bible I think that two meals a

day is the best idealistic diet for humans. Since God made us, He

would know best. But with what our modern food supply has become,

that idealistic diet may not be possible due to a lack of nutrition.

As for myself I will say that I am not nor do I believe in the

vegetarian diet. I am for fruit and vegetables but I am also for

meat. Not for the corn feed meat that is offered to us but I am still

for eating meat.

I'm perplexed by your logic. First you say, " Well I have to say that

I don't give much credit to any scientific studies even ones done by

nutritionists in regards to what they say is good for you and what

isn't. "

Then you say, " I also do not agree with the idea of eating rice in

moderation because of oriental people who eat rice every day and they

are healthier than americans. "

Do you believe in the scientific method at all? Your argument for the

rat " study " on whether or not the food was organic is irrelevant. If

both groups were fed the same exact food, it is a constant. The only

difference was in how often they were fed.

And I'm pretty certain that making a sweeping generalization about

rice being the reason why Asians are healthier than Americans is a

little off the mark. But I'm sure there is a study somewhere to

answer that question. ;o)

You are right, that was to generalized and it was an error in logic.

What do you know I am human after all. I agree if both test groups

where feed the same food be it organic or not it could produce results

in contrast between the two groups.

About the rice, I did not say that rice was the reason that orientals

are healthy. My point about rice is that since the orientals live

heavily on rice without any apperant ill effects and they have done

this for centuries. The idea that one must eat rice in moderation is

not well founded. But again each person needs to eat as they feel

comfortable.

As to scientific research and why I don't give it much credence is due

to many factors that are left out in the research process. But I

don't have the time to go into details of all of that. Suffice it to

say that scientific studies have been claims that some food is bad for

you and then later decided that it is not. Scientific studies have

bounced back and forth over what is good and what isn't. So what's up

with that? Well it is their methods of research.
