Tip 35- Eat 5 times a day.

The following comes from the bodyrock.tv website:
The problem…

Most people eat 3 times per day – breakfast, lunch and dinner. As part of our new 5 week diet challenge we are shifting over to eating 5 times per day, adding 2 more meals to your daily schedule. These 2 new meals are the “in-between” meals – what you will eat between breakfast and lunch, and lunch and dinner. The challenge with these 2 meals is that for most people they land smack in the middle of work or during some other highly inconvenient time when you are extremely busy. To make this work so that you can keep your metabolism burning at peak levels will require some forethought, but it is more than possible if we plan ahead.

The case for eating 5 meals a day…

Most people eat 3 meals a day and will snack on anything that comes across their path between meals. If someone brings in a box of donuts to the office to share – it’s yum yum time. This is not the best way to feed the body, and studies have shown that eating every 2-4 hours is a key strategy for improving body composition. Eating at consistent intervals helps to fire the metabolism, balance blood sugar levels and helps conserve lean muscle while giving the body a reason to burn off extra fat. This is a key strategy for getting lean and something that you need to think seriously about adopting.



I've done this with great results. Smaller meals more often are the key to feeling satisfied and looking good. Try it!
