Should You Eat 5-6 Small Meals Per Day 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.

Most of us get lost in the world of supplements and products claiming to do all of the hard work for us, but the truth is the science behind fat loss hasn't changed very much over the last few years.

You may have heard people in the past who recommend swapping three big meals for five smaller meals. Is there any truth behind this theory? How much should you expect your results to improve with this technique, if anything at all?

Let's delve into the science behind this theory and establish fact from fiction. Is there any physical proof that this approach actually improves fat loss results?

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.

If you can break down big meals into smaller, lighter ones you will notice an almost immediate difference. Even if your overall daily calorie intake remains at roughly the same level, you should begin to see significant results simply because your body can use those calories a little bit better when they are presented in moderation.

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.

Once you take a bit of time learning how to lose weight or how to build muscle, you begin to realize that all the scientific jargon you see on supplements and advertisements are simply gimmicks designed to make the process confusing, so that people will feel lost and spend lots of money. Once you are able to get past that hype and focus on the facts, the actual process of building a better body is very simple indeed.
