Who knew? Eat more to gain less

This is for all you ladies out there - the time has come to do away with the age-old adage of 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper'. Today's mantra of losing more weight is to eat more.
The caveat? No caveat, actually - just smart compartmentalisation of your meals. If not gaining weight is your prime concern (as opposed to losing it), eat frequently. A new study claims that girls who eat more frequently through the day, including meals and snacks, tend to gain fewer pounds (okay, kilos) than those who have 3-4 heavy meals.
Moderation is key for this to work, the research says. When a woman eats every couple of hours, the body conditions itself to be on the alert for frequent meals so it actively works towards not storing energy in the form of fat. One has to eat healthy, of course. If we eat candy bars and chips, the study is moot. But if our meals are and healthy, and our portions are small, the body's metabolism regulates over time and stops paving the way for weight gain.
Moral: Don't overdo the lasagna. Eat a quarter portion instead of the whole serving. And eat some vegetable sticks a couple of hours later. There is no substitute for healthy eating.
