Answer 1

If you don't eat for long periods of time, your body will think you need to conserve energy, so it stores fat and burns muscle, (idk, we adapted that way from the cavemen...) eat often with small portions. You'll be fine.

Answer 2

We as humans eat for energy. When the body has an adequate amount of energy obtained through a meal, it begins storing the excess energy as glycogen, or fat. Eating, especially frequently, sends a sign to the body that there is an abundance of food available and consequently, the body is more liberal with it's fat reserves. So by eating frequent small healthy meals throughtout the day, the body not only gets adequate nutrition, but is also more likely to allow for the burning of fat, every fitness-fanatic's dream. But remember, no matter if you eat 1 meal a day or 100, if you give your thighs more food than it needs, it'll take it. Equate your eating to a funnel. If you pour too much water in a funnel too quickly, it'll overflow. But if you pour slowly allowing for the water time to pass through the funnel, the system's fine. Your body's the same way.
Sleep is a different story, you need sleep. If you don't get enough sleep not only will you gain weight, you'll die. Human subjects in scientific experiments on sleep deprivation have been known to lose significant motor abilities at 24hrs. and begin hallucinating at 48. The connection between sleep at weight is in the chemical serotonin which regulates sleep and appetite (among other things...). Sleep deprivation disrupts the reception of serotonin in the brain (I forgot exactly how, I'm sorry) and may lead to increased appetite and consequently increased weight gain. Anyway, I don't know about you but for me, when I'm still up at 2 a.m. I'm either in bed or in the fridge, know what I'm sayin? Ah, so anyway, dems da breaks. To rap it all up, smaller meals spread out through the day, good thing. One mega-ton meal, bad thing. Fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats and complex carbohydrates, good thing. Wendy's, Burgerking, or McDonald's, bad thing. Sleep, good thing, insomnia, bad thing.
Till next time.

Answer 3

It is true, but there is a lot more to effective weight loss. Eating 5 to 6 meals a day instead of 3 times a day helps to spread out the calories and gives your body a steady supply of "fuel" (calories and nutrients) spread out through a day. It is also good for keeping your insulin and blood sugar stable; your metabolism benefits from this as well.

However, what you eat and how you exercise is very important. In fact, it is more important then eating 6 times a day. If you have your nutrition and exercises program down then eating 5 to 6 meals a day will help you fine-tune your progress.

Answer 4

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 5

Is it possible to lose weight by eating more? Sure, if what you're eating more of are high-fiber foods. How is this possible? Simply put, fiber is a natural calorie absorption blocker.

A study performed by the USDA found that women who doubled their fiber intake from 12 to 24 grams per day absorbed 90 fewer calories. This equals losing 10 lbs. over the course of a year. Fiber keeps you full, thereby decreasing the total amount of calories consumed per day.

Fiber is extremely important to health and weight loss. So much so, the U.S. Food & Nutrition Board has set the first recommended daily intakes: men up to age 50 need 38 grams of fiber per day and women need 25 grams per day. To reach these recommendations, a minimum of 6 servings of fruits and veggies and 3 servings of whole grains are needed daily.

So where can you find fiber? Here is a list of foods that will help you reach the daily fiber intake recommendations:

Onions (1/3 cup = 1 gram)
Broccoli (1/2 cup = 2 grams)
Oranges (1 orange = 3 grams)
Flaxseed (1 tbsp. = 1 gram) ~ sprinkle on cereal or in yogurt
Asian pears (1 pear = 4 grams)
Almond butter (2 tbsp. = 2 grams)
Hot chocolate (1 cup = 3 grams)
Rye bread (1 slice = 2 grams)
Beans (1/2 cup = 6 grams)
Oregano (1 tsp. = 1 gram)
Basil (1 tsp. = 1 gram)
Light popcorn (1 bag = 8 grams)
Chickpeas (1/2 cup = 6 grams)
Frozen chopped spinach (1/2 cup = 2 grams)
Whole wheat pasta (1 cup = 5 grams)

Other foods high in fiber include: oat bran, oatmeal, flour or whole wheat tortillas, mushrooms, sesame-seed buns, low-sodium V8, sweet potatoes, wild rice, cauliflower, carrots, nuts, and berries.

Answer 6

If you eat more smaller meals rather than three meals a day it keeps your metabolism working. Exercise such as walking, getting a good nights sleep and drinking water helps too.

Answer 7

You have to eat more smaller meals
