You should see some of the looks I get when I tell people that their best shot at increasing their metabolism naturally for weight loss is by eating more meals throughout the day.
On average I would say most people eat about 1-3 meals per day and there really isn’t anything much worse you can do to your metabolism or for weight loss.
By only eating 1-3 meals per day you are essentially starving your body. Your body (the medical marvel that it is) reacts by storing a good portion of the food you ingest as fat.
That’s right your body is more apt to store the food you eat as fat if you’re only eating 1-3 times per day which is bad for weight loss.
Your body does this because it doesn’t know when it’s going to get fed again. Being that your body’s only objective is survival, it naturally stores the food you eat as fat so that it can be burned as fuel when your body needs it. Think of a squirrel storing its’ food for the winter…same concept really.
BUT when you feed your body every 2-3 hours and consequently eat 4-6 times a day, you turn up the heat on your body’s’ metabolism which is great for weight loss.
Since your body knows (You’ll have to do this consistently for a few weeks to reap full benefits) it’s going to get fed in the next 2-3 hours, it’ll utilize all the nutrients you feed it and get rid of the rest. Your body will be less inclined to store the food you eat as fat if you’re eating 4-6 times per day which is where you want to be if weight loss is your goal.
