Most of us need a helping hand when we're trying to figure out how to lose weight more effectively, so today we are going to look at a few of the proven factors which will help you in your journey.
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.
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?
Surprisingly, yes there is. The science on this subject reveals that our bodies don't operate as efficiently when provided with a massive intake of nutrients all in one go. We're unable to make efficient use of the big intake of fuel, so we tend to store more fat.
More body fat is stored as a result of our muscles simply not needing all of this fuel. Also, it tends to lead us to feel quite bloated and, in some cases, ready for a nap.
If you have ever consumed a large meal which was dense in carbohydrates you will have experienced these feelings before. Once our natural storage space is used, we begin putting the rest of the nutrients to use as body fat.
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.
