experimentation

Another person in my noom group posted this:

The "science theory" and "statistical data" has never been my strong suit. I still would like to learn how to use "it". Does Noom have more information/explanations/worksheets to practice these theories? Am I the only "Noomer" who finds these lessons difficult to "practice"?

The "theory" doesn't make sense to me. It's like the science fair in school...think of a subject, what do you think will happen? How will you figure out question about your "subject"? None of this makes sense to me....guess, guess, guess...why guess? Why not just "google" the answers and don't stress yourself out! The outline in these lessons are so many words can't remember each step let alone remember each step definition.....I'm so overwhelmed with these "lessons I can't think straight.. just don't get it and I'm stressing because I feel like I will now fall behind and lose interest....sorry for the drama :-(

So that inspired me to do an example experiment, even though I'm nowhere near that in my lessons yet.

Hypothesis: I want to know, does my body handle 2 meals a day better than three?

Google doesn't know the answer to that!

Experiment: It's the weekend, so I'm going to have just brunch and dinner today and tomorrow. 

Control: I'll compare my calories and hunger levels to the last two days when I had normal breakfast lunch and dinner.

What will find?

That's about it really.

Right - weekends over, what did I find?

Compared to the previous "normal" weekend I ate slightly MORE calories in 2 meals a day. Only 21 more so more or less identical.

I was starving all weekend.

Sunday dinner I piled up my plate and was still unsatisfied so finished with a glass of wine - that did most of the damage. I think it would get steadily worse as my willpower wore down.

So conclusion: three meals a day are best for me!!
