I have found the best way to get your metabolism burning fat like wild is to eat smaller meals more frequently. I know we have all heard this but applying it is a whole other thing. Eating every 3 hours is really one of best things to shoot for. The people I see with the most sluggish metabolisms don’t eat very often and are always dieting. They say, “I only eat once or twice a day and I can go 8 hours without being hungry.” This is NOT good because out of the thousands I have worked with, these are the people I see lose weight the SLOWEST. Do you ever see those skinny people that eat all the time? I know that’s annoying sometimes but one reason it’s that way is because their body knows food is plenty and they don’t have to “store fat for the winter”. Now you can’t go eating cookies, pizza and soda every 3 hours for that will make you gain weight but making wiser choices throughout the day is the goal. Of course if you are going to eat every 3 hours then you will need to plan your meals and your snacks. The best way I have seen people lose weight is to eat breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack and dinner; which equals eating about five times a day. For some of you that have been starving yourself, you may think that is too much food but take my word for it, this is the best way to trick your body into letting go of your fat and to not store it. It also revs up your metabolism because every time you eat your body has to digest all that food. So start eating and make sure you plan some meals and snacks you need to have with you to be prepared. People don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan.

I have met many people that don’t feel good and are tired all the time. I had a couple clients before they met me go to a Dr. because they thought there was something wrong with them but the Dr. couldn’t find anything. Once they started eating healthy and exercising they felt great. If you are tired and don’t feel good, your body may be feeling the effects of being unhealthy and run down. If you are not healthy at a cellular level, then your body is not healthy. We age, live and die by how healthy our cells are. Some of this has to do with the amount of nutrients they receive, how toxic they are or if they are acidic. Most people are shocked how good they start to feel when they start moving their body and eating healthy food. Even when you are doing the right things you may still feel run down if you are vitamin and mineral deficient. I had a 23 year old client who was working out with me and eating healthy. She told me she was tired at night when she came home and all she wanted to do was lye on the couch. Once she got on some good absorbable vitamins, she couldn’t believe how much more energy she had and how awesome she felt! Not feeling good can be a result of putting junk food into our bodies, not exercising and not getting the right nutrients. Health is something you have to actively CHOOSE. If you neglect it, you will regret it. Our life is full of decisions. I encourage you to decide to take care of your health. Decide to have abundant energy, feel great, stay in shape and eat healthy. You are the only person you will be with until the day you die so respect the body you’ve been given by taking care of it. Not only do you deserve it but your family needs you to be healthy too.
