Watch the video and complete the text according to what you can understand. Narrator: We spoke with J. Stanton about what we eat. Now we wanna talk to him about how we eat and how that us. So J., we've all heard you should eat a bunch of small meals the day to lose , but is there any truth to that? J.S.: Absolutely not, you don't lose weight by , you lose weight by not eating. By analogy, you can look at how eat, predators which are uniformly lean and muscular, they'll gorge on their kill and then fast for periods of time, sometimes only eating once every day or every few days. The other , prey animals like cattle, graze and they get very, very fat doing that. So by analogy to humans, not that we eat once every three days but it is better to eat like a than like prey. Narrator: So is it more about how often we eat or how much? J.S.: in my and I think in most people's experience it's much easier to the number of times you eat than to try and limit the you eat when you do eat. Narrator: Huh, well I know for me if I don't eat every couple of hours I tend to get pretty "hangry". J.S.: I used to be the guy you had to every three hours or he turned into an ogre. Oh, got to feed J. again, he is getting grumpy. Narrator: So you're saying your body gets used to eating less often and if that's the case, what is the biggest difference we'll going from grazing like prey to eating like predator? J.S.: The most important change is that food doesn't your life, once you don't have to keep yourself with little snacks every couple of hours, you'll how much more time you have to to fixing yourself real food. Narrator: Really interesting stuff here. Again, thanks to J. Stanton for his "inside into how and what we eat" and be sure to check out this website...
