Eat More To Weigh Less


Excuse the picture, but I had to get your attention!

Yes, what you hear over and over again is absolutely true! You do have to eat more to weigh less.

Every time food goes into your mouth you could either speed up your metabolism or slow it down. To slow it down and end up gaining weight, eat larger portions and only eat 1 or 2 times per day.

However, if speeding up your metabolism and burning lots of unwanted body fat is your goal then start eating smaller portions and eat those small portions at least every 3-4 hours. This will keep the metabolism running at a higher rate which means burning excess body fat.

Also, by combining a complex carbohydrate and a protein together each time you eat, the metabolism will speed up even more.

As stated above, you want to eat smaller portions about every 3 1/2 hours throughout the day so by the end of the day you will end up eating more food than the norm. However you are only putting in 300-400 calories each time you eat. The body can easily digest that amount of food in a much faster manner than it would trying to digest a 900-1200 calorie meal.

The fact is, when a small amount of calories are being digested, the whole process happens quicker, which in-turn speeds up the metabolism. What does this mean for you? Weighing less!
