It's almost impossible to believe that the key to successful fat loss is in fact in eating. I'm pretty sure you heard before that if you eat 4-5 small meals a day you will be more successful in losing fat then if you only eat once or twice a day a big meal. This is not a myth, as the research has shown that people who don't eat regularly and skip meals are more likely to be overweight.
So how is this possible?
It is a proven fact that you need to eat to burn fat. The body needs energy to perform its functions; therefore the energy is essential nutritional demand of your body. Without adequate intake of energy, your body will convert muscle protein into energy to feed your brain, nervous system and red blood cells. There is only one type of energy that fuels the body - that is energy that comes from food.
So, if you diet and don't eat enough, you might lose few kilograms but this will all be on the expense of losing muscle tissue. Why? Muscles are the highest consumer of energy in our bodies. When the body does not receive enough energy it will compensate and try to decrease muscle tissue.
Trust me; you don't want to lose muscles, as they are the very tissue that burns fat. In fact, 70% of fat in your body is burned by muscle tissue. So losing muscle, sacrifices your ability to burn body fat.
Your need to consume all types of food, and yes that means carbohydrates as well, because body needs all of them to perform its functions.
When you eat you are stimulating metabolism, which helps you lose weight. There are three components to your metabolism. One of them is called thermic effects of food - the number of calories you burn when you digest food. This is the easiest part of your metabolism to increase. By making a few adjustments to your food choices and meal timings, you can burn hundred of extra calories a week. Combine this with regular exercise and you will be on a fast way to achieve your fat loss goals.
