Most of us need a helping hand when we're trying to figure out how to lose weight more effectively, so today we are going to look at a few of the proven factors which will help you in your journey.
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.
How big is the role played by meal frequency? Does it make any difference at all? This is a statement which has caught the attention of many dieters in the last couple of years and it is a conversation which takes place daily in most gyms.
Once you get past the many opinions of fitness enthusiasts and trainers, you're left with the actual science. Is there any relevant research which adds weight to this theory?
This technique actually has a lot of research backing it up. Over the years, numerous studies have shown us that humans who consume infrequent, larger meals tend to store more body fat because their muscles simply don't need the huge influx of fuel provided in one go.
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 you have ever consumed a large meal which was dense in carbohydrates you will have experienced these feelings before. Once our natural storage space is used, we begin putting the rest of the nutrients to use as body fat.
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.
Five or six smaller meals allows our body to use up the nutrients it requires a lot more efficiently than the old approach. You'll also be able to say goodbye to the common post-meal complaints we listed above, as well as naturally storing less fat than you would have with the old method.
When people are looking for information on how to lose weight, or perhaps even how to build muscle, they often get lost in a sea of information and 'next big thing' products. Today's post gives you one of the most basic, proven methods to get more from your diet and it is something which you can begin applying right now.
