Hit A Weight Loss Plateau? Eat More

     Can't lose weight no matter how much you diet? You may be sabotaging yourself. Are you eating enough? Find out below.

And you would be happy to know that there are other weight loss methods out there which work much better than dieting. Lets cover them

1. Dieting doesn't work: While I know that you hate diets, I thought it would be prudent to point out the disadvantages. See, dieting sounds good on the surface, and in fact, if you go without food for several days, you might also lose some fat from your thighs and belly! But you will gain back all of that weight as quickly as you have lost it!

As a matter of fact, the human body is PROGRAMMED to fight against any form of starvation. In good old days, when there was lack of food supply, the body would store fat deposits in order to survive.

The rule still remains the same: if you try to starve yourself, your body will think that there is a famine out there which is why it is not getting enough fuel in the form of calories. It would then take the obvious step: slow down your metabolic rate to store fat instead of burning it! This is the reason why most dieters tend to regain their former self as soon as they get back to the normal eating mode!

If someone told you that you have gained weight because of eating, let me enlighten you: you will put on weight if you DON'T eat!

2. Eating frequently is the key: Simply 'eating' is not enough for quick weight loss; you must also make sure that you are eating frequently as well! No, don't eat more than your normal diet, or when you're not hungry. Make smaller meals vs. larger ones.

If you are like anyone else, you probably end your day with three large meals. You don't lose weight this way! Break down your usual 3 meals into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day and eat about every 2-3 hours.

This has dual advantages. First, when your body gets fuel frequently, it keeps your metabolic rate high, which means that you will burn fat fast. Second, frequent eating helps you suppress hunger, so that you don't feel tempted to gorge on the junk foods.
