How many times a day should I eat?

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.
