Keeping the woodstove burning

Sorry for the delay in posting, but our internet went down and the winter weather has libraries closed here in Asheville. I know all my followers have been glued to their computers for days waiting for the next post, so without further ado:

Studies have shown that those who have been able to keep the weight off that they have lost have done so with a combination of both exercise and eating patterns. With regards to eating healthy, from enough personal experience I know that it is far better to try to constantly fuel yourself with healthy meals every 2.5-3.5 hours than to have long lapses between meals. It is when we neglect our bodies of fuel for greater than 5 hours at a time that we experience "the Binge". "The Binge" is when you could eat a 1/2 gallon of ice cream in just under 8 minutes, but it is because we have starved ourselves. So it seems most logical to try and avoid "the binge" by "keeping the woodstove burning" and trying to fuel ourselves with good food every 2.5-3 hrs.

Hope everyone is well.
