Dr. Gioffre has a word for eating six or more times a day — grazing. He says, "When you graze and eat every couple hours, your body stimulates the release of insulin to reduce the glucose levels in your blood, and insulin makes you store fat and is also the primary driver to chronic inflammation." Chronic inflammation not only makes you feel tired, it also slows down your metabolism and eventually sets you up for chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
