Lesson: How to eat: like predator or prey?/ExerciseD1

Listening Exercise

We recently 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 we should eat a

of small meals

the day to lose weight, but is there any

to that? J.S.: Absolutely not, you don’t lose weight by eating, you lose weight by not eating. By

you can look at how animals eat,

which are uniformly

and muscular. They´ll gorge on their kill and then rest for extended periods of time sometimes only eating once every day or every few days. The other extreme

animals like cattle

constantly and they get very, very fat doing that. So by now, we, the humans, not that we should eat once every three days but it is better to eat like a predator than like prey. 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 quantity you eat when you do eat. Huh, well I know for me if I don’t need something every couple of hours I tend to get pretty hungry. J.S.: I use to be the guy you had to feed every three hours or I'd turn into an

. Oh, I got to feed J. again he is getting grumpy. So you´re saying about eventually get used to eating less often and if that´s the case, what´s the difference we´ll notice going from grazing like prey to eating like predator? J.S.: The most important change is that food doesn’t run your life once you don’t have to keep stuffing yourself with little snacks every

of hours. You´ll realize how much more time you have to

to fixing yourself real food. Really interesting stuff here. Again, thanks to J. Stanton for his "inside into how and what we eat" and be
