If you are trying to discover how to lose weight more effectively, you may be surprised to find out that most of the steps towards building a better physique are simple changes you can make at home. Today we'll be looking at how to schedule your meals for better results.
Despite the tendency for us to search for supplements and gadgets which promise a quick fix, the most productive rules of fat loss are almost the same as they were a decade ago.
You may have heard people in the past who recommend swapping three big meals for five smaller meals. Is there any truth behind this theory? How much should you expect your results to improve with this technique, if anything at all?
Once you get past the many opinions of fitness enthusiasts and trainers, you're left with the actual science. Is there any relevant research which adds weight to this theory?
Surprisingly, yes there is. The science on this subject reveals that our bodies don't operate as efficiently when provided with a massive intake of nutrients all in one go. We're unable to make efficient use of the big intake of fuel, so we tend to store more fat.
This can lead to you feeling quite bloated and sluggish. It also results in your body being unable to make use of the fuel efficiently and, naturally, it looks to store quite a lot of this fuel as body fat because it simply has no immediate use for it.
This is particularly noticeable if your meal contained a lot of carbohydrates, because your body can only use and store so much before it needs to put the excess elsewhere, i.e. fat storage.
By breaking down your meals and switching from three bigger, square meals each day to a new lighter approach you will increase fat loss results considerably. This even works if you are still eating the same foods and total calories overall.
There is a wealth of research now which suggests that our bodies work at a superior level when we swap out the old approach in favor of eating five-to-six smaller, balanced meals throughout the day. You should also be able to do this without getting the common digestion problems we talked about earlier with the old approach, as well as allowing your body to use the food for fuel and therefore storing less of it as body fat.
When people are looking for information on how to lose weight, or perhaps even how to build muscle, they often get lost in a sea of information and 'next big thing' products. Today's post gives you one of the most basic, proven methods to get more from your diet and it is something which you can begin applying right now.
