Weight Loss Eating Plan - Eating More Frequently for More Fat Loss

While there are many methods of weight loss eating that have been proven to work for certain people, one of the more fundamental aspects of most weight loss eating plans is eating smaller, more frequent meals.

The western daily diet usually consists of two or three large meals throughout the day. Most people eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some people skip breakfast and eat a big lunch and a big dinner.

It's unfortunate that so many people have been conditioned to eat this way, because in general, this is not the most effective meal frequency for fat loss. What I am going to propose in this article is that you try to develop a weight loss eating plan that includes maybe 4-6 small meals throughout each day.

By doing this, you ensure that you will be eating every 2-4 hours. This is a very good thing for fat loss as well as overall health.




Let me explain the reasons why:

1. When we eat on a consistent basis throughout the day (as long as the food choices are healthy ones), we tend to feel comfortably full and have less of a tendency to gorge. Gorging is not good for the body and can result in lots of fat storage.

2. Eating at regular intervals also ensures that your metabolism is working at a consistent basis, so it does not have much opportunity to store leftover nutrients as fat. In other words, as long as the body is being consistently fed, it will use the nutrients to produce energy as needed. The result - not much left over for storage (usually as fat).

3. Eating regularly throughout the day can have a positive psychological impact on you. Many restrictive diet plans make us feel as though we are torturing ourselves in order to achieve weight loss. When we instead eat regularly throughout the day, we tend to not feel like we are on any sort of healthy weight loss plan. This can help you to stay motivated and enjoy the process of fat loss more.

So the goal here is simple: start conditioning your self to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. So if you usually eat two or three large meals each day, try to cut those meals in half and spread the eating out over the course of the day. It may be difficult at first, and you may feel a little hungrier at first, but if you keep this up, you will get used to it.

This is one of the main things that separate a true weight loss eating plan from any other eating plan. Again, it may take some getting used to at first, but if you can make this style of eating a habit, I am certain that your body will thank you for it.
