Tip #1 - Stop Storing New Body Fat
It amazes me how many
people start an exercise program to lose weight yet end up just packing
on some more new fat later that day or the next. So the number one goal
should be to first stop storing new body fat. You can do this very
easily by eating small, balanced meals or snacks every two to three
hours. There are multiple reasons why frequent feedings not only boost
metabolism but also prevent storing new fat. Here are just a few: Frequent eating
conditions the body to use fat for energy because the body used to
getting fuel and doesn't need to or tend to store is much fat. Part of
it is because it doesn't worry about when the next feeding will be.
I’m sure you’ve probably heard of the starvation mechanism and know
what it is - basically the longer you go between feedings to worse it is
as your body slows down the rate at which it is burning fuel to conserve
energy. The body is then
more likely to hold onto the food as body fat just in case it has to go
another long extended period of time without food. By eating smaller and
more frequent meals/snacks you lessen the likely hood of providing too
many calories at one time and therefore make it much less likely that
you’ll store any new fat. Grab my new ebook, "101 Fitness Tips" now totally FREE!
