The 6-meal-a-day diet has become a sensationalized program that is largely being prescribed to a misdiagnosed public. The 6 meal a day was a diet originally created and designed for hypoglycemic patients to introduce a level of blood sugar stability in lieu of severe blood sugar instability.

This diet usually presents initially with an increase in energy, weight loss and supposedly an increase in baseline metabolic rate (BMR). Aside from this unproven claim to increasing BMR, the long-term effects of this diet are generally degenerating to the nervous system and immune system.

The long-term effect of training your body to expect a blood sugar boost every 3 hours is an eventual deterioration of stable blood sugar, increased anxiety and increased weight gain.

You may be thinking… wait, aren’t those the exact opposite results people we're looking for with this diet? And the answer is yes, in the long-term this diet backfires. Traditionally, this diet was a medicinal short-term diet intended to pull patients away from the dangerous edge of hypoglycemia and then slowly wean back into making the larger stretches between meals necessary for 3 meals a day. 6 meals a day is not the solution to weight loss or anxiety.  

In conjunction with daily exercise routines and supportive Ayurvedic herbs, you can ward off hypoglycemia in order to maintain the traditional order of 3 meals a day.
