Dietary Habits



Diets range in their little niches - pills, routines, strenuous workouts, etc. They are made to address a variety of ailments. Some are made for your cholesterol levels, some for your weight, some to protect a baby in your womb, etc. But, the idea of all diets and the end goal is the same; to be more healthy.

Many dietitians will tell you that the healthiest way to eat is not 3 meals a day. In fact, in many diets, the largest change is the increase in water consumption and the spreading out of the meals. 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals - the way your body was made to consume and digest. Its that way off the bat - as infants we ate every 3 hours. Of course, there were less things to interfere with us eating back then but it is the way our bodies are healthiest.

The physical is always some kind of picture of something in the spiritual realms. In this case the number of times we nourish ourselves throughout the day is the comparison. If its healthy to eat 6 times a day, or even just the 3, tell me why we are only taught to have one devotional time?

The way we take only our "daily devotions" once a day is silly. Really - how well would you be if you only ate breakfast? Its like running a marathon and not eating a power bar right before. You need your protien, your carbs, your nourishment - worship, encouragement, guidance, etc, many times a day.

How healthy do you really expect to be eating once a day?
