Eating More Speeds Up Your Metabolism

A lot of people want to shed some weight so they try to watch the amount of food they eat thinking they will stop putting on more weight. The opposite ends up happening. After a while they begin to realize that they are actually gaining weight even though they aren't eating as much. The truth is that when you don't eat much your metabolism slows down and you begin storing more and more calories each meal. So to speed up your metabolism you need to start eating more meals each day along with drinking plenty of water. When you eat more your body starts burning fat calories more than carbohydrates.

You should actually eat 6 meals per day rather than 2 or three! I know that does seem like a lot but what has happened is we have become a culture that snacks more than we eat meals. When we snack our metabolism slows down and we begin to store more calories and have a harder time burning them. Yes this actually takes effort, work and planning. You have to discipline yourself if you want to get the body you want to get! It's not impossible like a lot of people begin to think at one point or another. It just takes a whole lot of discipline and organization.

Another problem is that most people wait too long between meals! We tend to wait until we are actually hungry to eat, I know that may sound crazy but you need to change your mindset from "eat when I'm hungry" to "eat to keep fueling my body". The truth is that if you feel hungry you have already waited too long to eat! So make sure to keep eating throughout the day! And not junk food of coarse! Eat things like, fruits, vegetables, wheat's, grains, and yogurt. Keep yourself fueled and you will start to see a change in your metabolism! Start starving yourself and you will find it harder to burn fat!
