Are Smaller, Frequent Meals Better For Weight Loss?

By Howe Russ


When people ask for advice on how to lose weight more efficiently, they are often overwhelmed by the scientific answers they receive. In today's post we shall explain how to get the most from your diet with a tip as simple as structuring your meals more effectively.

Despite the big advancements in sports science and the vast array of 'miracle products' on the market which claim to yield results without any effort, the world of fat loss is a misleading and often expensive place to be. Furthermore, the actual research behind effective fat loss hasn't changed dramatically in the last decades, so the basic principles are very easy to apply.
Today's clip on how to lose weight details five extensively researched fat loss tips for you.


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?

Actually, yes there is. If somebody consumes a large intake of food in one sitting, their body tends to struggle with the job of breaking down and using the fuel it has just been supplied with. After all, you'll quite often find that you don't need the vast amount of fuel you'd provide your body with in a meal.

More body fat is stored as a result of our muscles simply not needing all of this fuel. Also, it tends to lead us to feel quite bloated and, in some cases, ready for a nap.

If we eat a meal so rich in carbohydrates that we fill our body's storage resources, we simply have nowhere else to put the rest of the nutrients we have just consumed. Therefore, we begin using it as fat instead.

One of the easiest ways to improve your diet is to ditch the old approach of three massive meals per day and replacing it with a lighter, more regular eating plan. This even works if you calorie intake during the day remains at the same level.

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.
