When people ask for advice on how to lose weight more efficiently, they are often overwhelmed by the scientific answers they receive. In today's post we shall explain how to get the most from your diet with a tip as simple as structuring your meals more effectively.
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?
Actually, yes there is. If somebody consumes a large intake of food in one sitting, their body tends to struggle with the job of breaking down and using the fuel it has just been supplied with. After all, you'll quite often find that you don't need the vast amount of fuel you'd provide your body with in a meal.
More body fat is stored as a result of our muscles simply not needing all of this fuel. Also, it tends to lead us to feel quite bloated and, in some cases, ready for a nap.
If we eat a meal so rich in carbohydrates that we fill our body's storage resources, we simply have nowhere else to put the rest of the nutrients we have just consumed. Therefore, we begin using it as fat instead.
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.
