Eat More Food, Burn More Fat

April 12th, 2007

You must think I’m crazy. After all, all the “health experts” tell you that if you want to lose weight you should eat less.

Well, don’t always trust what you read. I’m not sure exactly who came up with the “3 meal per day thing”, but they mustn’t have known much about the human body.

Simply put, if you want to lose weight you need to eat more. This isn’t to say that you should eat whenever and however you want. What I’m saying is that you should be eating about every 2.5-3 hours, which comes out to a total of 6 meals per day.

However, the meal size must be smaller than you’re currently used to. Instead of each meal consisting of 700-800 calories, which is about the average, they should be about 300 calories for a female and 350-400 for a male.

Of course, each person is different and may need to increase or decrease their calories depending on their metabolic rate.

I’m sure you’ve heard the metaphor of throwing small sticks on a fire instead of 1 huge log. Well, although it’s well-known, not many people actually believe or use it! Sadly for them they probably aren’t even close to the best shape they could be in if they stuck to 5-6 meals per day.

In a future post I’ll explain what each meal should consist of and why eating in this way has a profound affect on your metabolism, digestive system, energy, and many other things.

For now, just make a plan to eat at least 1 extra meal per day, but work on reducing the size of your meals so that you’re still taking in less calories than you need.

It’s good to be non-traditional and go against the crowd. Over 66% of Americans are 30 pounds or more overweight at the moment. Obviously the breakfast, lunch, and dinner idea isn’t working!

Eat frequently and watch your metabolism soar,

Jeremy
