Fatloss:The Process
Right away I can make some suggestions for your new diet that will start helping
you to metabolize your stored fat reserves:
-Cut out all soda from your diet, I mean all soda starting today!
Which ever of the above rules you follow is up to you, I am following all of them except the spicy thing. I don't eat spicy food every day but I do occasionally/frequently. But whatever you do, do not skip meals or starve yourself. That is dangerous, unhealthy, and least importantly it reverses your efforts for fat-loss. Click here for more information.
Fatloss Made Simple
Imagine the following equation was a notorious one for fatloss:
food + food + food + food + food + food = fatloss!!! (eqn. 1)
"Yeah right" I can already here you say but believe it or not the above
equation works! Providing, ofcourse, a few parameters are taken into account.
I know most of you say "My formula isn't food 6 times a day, only 3 times!"
lower calorie intake + higher calorie expenditure = fat-loss (eqn. 2)
Your body is burning calories as its energy
source - this is what caloric expenditures are; your body using calories. Caloric intakes is another way of saying
"eating". When you eat, you gain calories, fat-loss will only
occur when the calories you get from what you eat is LESS than the calories you lose from daily
metabolic functions. In a nutshell burn more calories than you eat.
Why Six Meals a Day?
6 small meals a day will aggregate to a smaller amount than
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner together (Keeping your daily fat-intake the same). This amounts to a
fewer caloric intake which was a variable in eqn. 2. As well as this, eating six-small meals a day that are evenly spaced out throughout the day keep fueling your metabolism to help burn more calories.
Remember these are small meals. Meals are not necessarily a course where you sit down and eat at a table!
Eat on the go, an apple or a bannana may satisfy this definition of a small meal. However it is preferable if each of these six-small daily meals arebalanced interms of protein and carbohydrates. A sandwhich (meat) is typically good with protein obtinable from the meat and carbohydrates available from the bread, but you may wish to explore other alternatives.
-Soda, diet or regular, has about 10 teaspoons of sugar in it along with caffeine, both of which are not good for someone trying to burn off fat.
-Drink as many glasses of ice cold water as you want a day, substituting this for soda is ideal.
Water has many beneficial uses, some of which include, keeping fat off, helping your body metabolize stored fat, being an apetite suppressant, correcting salt-imbalances: all this while being zero calories! Apparently drinking ice-cold water helps burn calories by the hundreds if not thousands because of the severe temperature difference.
Forget about eating breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner, from now on it is six-mini-meals a day, evenly spaced out throughout the day.
Six small meals a day instead of three fairly large ones actually makes less total ingested food and therefore fewer ingested calories. This may also aid your metabolism into reaching a consistant level throughout the day as well as burning calories throughout the day.
Eat Protein! Out of the six mini-meals a day, balance your meals in terms of protein and carbos for two of these meals. The rest have protein with a little carbohydrates.
Apparently it was brought to my attention that eating protein increases one's metabolism. Protein, along with resistance training, builds muscles, which are caloric furnaces. This is what you want (believe me).
Spice up your food! Make a few of your six-meals a day spicy!
Apparently spicy food boosts your metabolism, I have no scientific logic to base this on - it was merely something brought to my attention in several different sources I picked up. It's worth a shot anyway - the worst that can happen is you'll drink tons of water -- which is good! Hey maybe that's how it works!
And this is good, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are good! However the reason that
the above equation works ( 6[food]/day = fatloss) is explained by the below equation:
