Eat more often to lose more fat!

The old notion of three meals per day has gone the way of the dinosaur. Three meals a day is not good for metabolic functioning or energy levels.

A recent study shows that those that ate frequently, preferably 6-9 meals per day average a higher rate of thermogenesis and enjoy better overall health than those who ate less often.

Eating more turns up the energy levels and can have a positive effect on body composition. For overweight people, frequent meals can improve metabolism and regulate insulin levels.

Skipping meals is not a good idea. Skipping meals could slow your metabolism, which could lead to weight gain. Eating more frequent and regular meals also prevents you from feeling hungry and help you curb cravings for simple sugar (junk food)!

And remember, with any dieting, make sure to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise per day.
