If you are trying to discover how to lose weight more effectively, you may be surprised to find out that most of the steps towards building a better physique are simple changes you can make at home. Today we'll be looking at how to schedule your meals for better results.
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.
the basic principles are very easy to apply.
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?
This technique actually has a lot of research backing it up. Over the years, numerous studies have shown us that humans who consume infrequent, larger meals tend to store more body fat because their muscles simply don't need the huge influx of fuel provided in one go.
This can lead to you feeling quite bloated and sluggish. It also results in your body being unable to make use of the fuel efficiently and, naturally, it looks to store quite a lot of this fuel as body fat because it simply has no immediate use for it.
This is particularly noticeable if your meal contained a lot of carbohydrates, because your body can only use and store so much before it needs to put the excess elsewhere, i.e. fat storage.
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.
There is a wealth of research now which suggests that our bodies work at a superior level when we swap out the old approach in favor of eating five-to-six smaller, balanced meals throughout the day. You should also be able to do this without getting the common digestion problems we talked about earlier with the old approach, as well as allowing your body to use the food for fuel and therefore storing less of it as body fat.
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.
