basically what you should be doing is having breakfast, lunch and dinner and having a healthy snack in between meals. this helps you 1. not eat as much for your main meals since you're not that hungry, and 2. it helps increase your metabolism since you're making it work constantly.

eating less more often (smaller portions 5-6 times a day) makes your body think you are going to feed it regularly and therefore thinks it needs to burn quicker. You have to do this every day though, not every second day, your body needs to get used to it. it speeds your metabolism up :)

Your body is like a furnace.
If you keep it stoked all day (small frequent meals) it burns more efficiently.
If you eat larger meals only a few (3 or less) times a day it does not stay fueled and burns (fat and calories) at a diminished rate.

Naturally thin people are generally those who eat all day long.

Especially when dieting, avoid fewer meals and "graze" all day.
It keeps the furnace burning.
Fasting shuts your 'furnace' down.

When you eat 4-5 meals a day, your stomache will shrink and increases your metabolism. If you eat large meals, your body burns what it needs and stores the rest as fat. Eating small meals, your body burns what you eat plus the extra fat... Hope this makes sense.

The idea is to eat small meals 4-5 times instead of 3 small meals, to keep your metabolism active. Because if you're hungry or if you starve yourself, your body signals your brain to slow down your metabolism (conserve).

To be able to eat more meals without packing on pounds, eat foods that promote weight loss

Simply snacking on these treats will speed your weight loss.

Shed Trapped Fat with Whole Grains. People who eat three servings daily are 30% less likely to struggle with belly fat than those who choose more highly processed fare, a Harvard study reveals. In fact, snacking on whole grains can cut your risk of overeating by 81%, plus trim up to six pounds off your tummy in three weeks.

Balance Blood Sugar with Berries. Savoring these gems can outsmart snack attacks for four hours and help you shed 5% of your body weight in six months. The credit goes to dozens of blood sugar-stabilizing antioxidants. Blueberries are so packed with them, just a half cup daily can boost your blood levels by 100%.

Speed Metabolism with Bell Peppers. These crunchy treats are rich in lutein, carotenoids and zeaxanthin, which keep metabolism high, plus suppress appetite in as little as 20 minutes, says obesity researcher and Sonoma Diet creator Connie Guttersen, R.D., Ph.D. Eat 1 cup daily, and UCLA researchers say you could shed 21 pounds in one year!

Curb Overeating with Grapes. Enjoying 1 cup each day can boost insulin sensitivity by 7%. And that translates into a 42% drop in erratic blood sugar, binge eating and weight concerns, USDA studies suggest. The credit goes to cyanidin, kaempferol and phenolics. These phytochemicals activate the brain's satiety center, so you feel full on far less food, says Guttersen.

Hi,

I've tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don't work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss (it's actually a colon cleanse) and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it's 100% natural). The results were excellent. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months with this detox. That's why I recommend you check this product at
http://www.easy-diet-fit.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!
