Have Four to Six Small, Balanced Meals a Day— Every Day
Eating four to six small, balanced meals a day, meaning every three to four hours, fights hunger and prevents you from cheating with fattening between-meal snacks. It also keeps your metabolism and energy levels high throughout the day. Our bodies are being trained to stay in a constant food burning mode with a steady but not overwhelming flow of nutrients.
With only two to three large meals a day, your body gets overwhelmed from the relatively large amount of food it takes in at one time. Whatever the body can’t use at the time gets stored as—you guessed it—fat. Remember, anything that is not used by our bodies for energy or excreted as waste will be stored as fat for use later.
Eating by the clock will take some discipline and it will require you to take some food to work. However, you’ll find it to be a simple adjustment, and your wallet will also thank you. Bringing some food from home is a heck of a lot cheaper than those saturated-fat, sugar-filled, and calorieladen fast-food lunches we’ve all fallen victim to. By simply eating four to six small, balanced meals a day, you’ll satiate your hunger, you won’t feel like you’re starving yourself, and you’ll be raising your metabolism so that you burn more fat than you ever thought possible.
