As we continue our discussion on ways to burn fat and keep our metabolism revved up, one of the most important things you can do is…EAT! That’s right, eat every 2-3 hours. It doesn’t have to be much, a peice of fruit, a handful of nuts or some veggies. Never, ever skip a meal!!! You might think the opposite would be true, au contraire!
When you don’t eat, your body thinks there is a famine and your metabolism actually SLOWS down to conserve energy. By eating every few hours, forces your metabolism to maintain its use of energy which can help the body burn fat.
The key here folks, is what you choose as a snack! Yes, your metabolism will maintain itself if you eat a bag of chips, but is that a wise choice? Think about eating a small amount of nuts, which has good fats that will help you to feel fuller longer.
Combine adding muscle to your body and frequently eating, the metabolism will maintain energy, burn fat, and promote weight loss at the same time. It’s a double whammy and you win all the way around!
