Diet Talk - The Importance Of Regular Eating

The importance of regular eating.

Most people believe that eating less will automatically promote weight loss.

This is wrong.

There are three major factors that influence weight loss.

First is eating a well-balanced array of foods that are low in calories.

Your body will crave food until it has what it needs to function efficiently.

Low calorie fad diets can be deficient in essential nutrients,

Making it difficult to stay with the diet long enough to lose fat.

Second is eating regularly.

Your body requires fuel every four to six hours while you are awake.

If you eat irregularly or eat only one meal per day,

Your body will hoard whatever you give it and tend to not burn it up as fuel for functioning.

This is because the body's first response to lowered food intake is to reduce the amount of fuel burned.

This is because the body is reacting to what it perceives as an emergency situation.

The best way to lose weight is to eat small meals fairly often throughout the day.

Third is drinking enough water.

Remember,

The body considers anything that isn't water as food.

So coffee,

Diet,

Soft drinks,

Pee,

Or any other fluid cannot take the place of H2O.

Your body rids itself of fat through the breath and urine via water.

Drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day promotes weight loss by providing a means for fat to leave the body.

And make sure to drink one additional 8-ounce glass of water for every 25 pounds you are overweight.

Overall,

What is important is to establish regular patterns for water drinking and food consumption as well as developing a nutritionally balanced food intake.

The body thrives on consistency and will release stored fat much more readily when survival isn't threatened.
