Today's Fat Loss Tip

When it comes to exercise and nutrition I don't know one woman who isn't thinking about fat loss (or at least maintenance). As you probably know exercise alone won't give you the results you are looking for. Healthy eating habits and great nutrition are a must for fat loss.

Here's one tip you must follow to get maximum results!

Eat every 3 -3 1/2 hours. Taaa Daaa! Yes, I'm actually telling you to eat.

You must eat on a regular basis for several reasons.

First, eating regularly prevents you from becoming overly hungry. When you don't eat enough your next meal contains too many calories and you can blow half a days calories in one sitting and we all know you aren't pigging out on apples and broccoli!

Second, when you eat every 3 - 3 1/2 hours you maintain energy levels. Eating quality foods frequently prevents steep hills and low valleys in your blood sugar. You won't feel drained and exhausted

Third, it is needed for optimal fat loss because your body won't need to store fat when it knows there will be a steady supply of healthy food coming in a few hours. It has the freedom to RELEASE FAT!

Additionally, there is something called thermogenic response. This is the increase in metabolism (think calorie burn) when you eat. Your body must rev up to digest the food and this can account for up to 10% of your daily calorie burn!

Eat regularly and choose your foods wisely!
