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.
One of the things people often talk about is the frequency of their meals. Does it really make a difference how often you eat? You will regularly hear people at the gym or at work discussing their diet, so it's not uncommon to hear somebody giving advice on this subject. You have probably heard people saying you should eat regular, smaller meals instead of large, square meals.
Let's delve into the science behind this theory and establish fact from fiction. Is there any physical proof that this approach actually improves fat loss results?
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.
People who have eaten that way for years often complain about feeling sluggish or bloated after a meal. That's a telltale sign that somebody has 'bitten off more than they can chew', i.e. provided their body with more nutrients than it can physically handle. As a result, body fat stores increase.
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.
Science has shown us over the last couple of decades that when we eat five or six smaller, well rounded meals per day we lose all of the negative side effects we have listed above, such as bloating and sluggishness. As well as this, our body is also able to break down each smaller meal much more efficiently and use it for fuel rather than storing it as unwanted body fat.
Once you take a bit of time learning how to lose weight or how to build muscle, you begin to realize that all the scientific jargon you see on supplements and advertisements are simply gimmicks designed to make the process confusing, so that people will feel lost and spend lots of money. Once you are able to get past that hype and focus on the facts, the actual process of building a better body is very simple indeed.
