Eat More Food, Lose More Fat

December 23, 2009   Eat More Food, Lose More Fat An all-day eating plan to help you build muscle and shed pounds Some things are sadly predictable. Extra winter poundage, for instance. Or holiday binges. Or the 3 o'clock slump, which sags before you like a hammock every afternoon. Here's a happier prediction: Eat more often and you'll avoid all of those problems. Spreading six smaller meals across your day operates on the simple principle of satisfaction. Frequent meals tame the slavering beast of hunger—a key step in the quest for a slimmer waistline. Consistent eating also keeps your protein levels high, helping you build muscle. The challenge, of course, is keeping these mini meals mini. Check out our all-day eating plan to discover the 5 best food combinations for torching fat, building muscle, and boosting energy. Tweet This!
