What's the number one easiest way to lose weight? By boosting your metabolism! Boosting your metabolism is the key to passive fat loss. The faster your metabolism is, the more calories you'll burn throughout the day. Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to boost your metabolism and lose weight without going on some fad diet? There is, and for most people, it means eating more food!
The very first thing most people do when they want to lose weight is limit the number of calories they eat in a day. In a way, they're on the right track. In order to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit in your body. One way to do this is to eat less. So what do these people do? They cut out a meal or two.
That's a sure fire way to cut calories, and a sure fire way to not lose weight! The problem with this technique is that the body regularly thinks it's being starved. It goes into self-preservation mode and begins to store every single calorie you eat as fat! The results seen from this type of diet start with a 5 pound loss of weight in a week, followed by absolutely no fat loss with huge drops in energy and motivation. Have you experienced this? Most people have.
Instead of starving the body of calories in hopes of losing a pound, eat many meals a day. It sounds counterintuitive, but it's an unstoppable way of boosting your metabolism. So how many meals are right for you? The typical person should eat 6-8 meals a day. This does not mean 6-8 full course meals like you might be eating now. You still need to limit your calories. Follow this formula to learn how many calories you need to be eating:
- Measure your body weight in pounds.
- Multiply that number by 12. The resulting number is the total number of calories you need to eat per day to lose weight.
- Divide the number of calories you need to eat per day by 7. This number is the rough amount of calories you should eat per meal to achieve the desired total number.
