How Can I eat like that?

Every week I think about what I can tell you that you have not heard regarding health and fitness. It seems like everyone has their opinion on what should be done to lose weight, most importantly lose fat.

I would like to think that the information that I supply can be implemented instantly so you can start to not only lose weight but most importantly lose fat; meaning no more loose skin, firmer abs, a toned look just in time for the summer.

After much deliberation and reading hundreds of pages from fitness books and magazines, there was an idea that is absolutely important for you to understand.

We all know what foods are good and we all know the foods we should not be consuming so I will not take the time to do that here, but will welcome any email if you would like special help with making the right food choices.

The idea here is PORTION CONTROL!

Many people on a diet deprive themselves of food. You see someone with a bottle of water and ask what they ate for the day and the answer is nothing. Eating nothing is not going to help you in the long run.

In fact when you lose weight from STARVATION, a big chunk of the weight is muscle. Losing muscle is not the best thing if you're trying to look lean and sexy in a short period of time. Muscle is the only active tissue in the body that actually burns fat! Meaning the less muscle you have, the less fat you are burning.

So back to portion control. Eating small meals throughout the day helps ensure that your muscles are getting the proper nutrients around the clock and also helps to keep your metabolism up.

When you see a friend who can eat anything and never gain an inch, it's because your friend most likely has a fast metabolism. By eating small portions throughout the day, you too can have a faster metabolism.

So if you are only eating once a day, it's time you start spreading out the food and try eating 3 times a day. Ideally you want to consume 5 small meals a day but if you are only eating 1 now, maybe 3 is ideal for you. Continue to work on this until you get to 5 small meals a day and trust me your body will thank you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and remember Fast Metabolism = Faster Weight Loss.
