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 tendency for us to search for supplements and gadgets which promise a quick fix, the most productive rules of fat loss are almost the same as they were a decade ago.
How big is the role played by meal frequency? Does it make any difference at all? This is a statement which has caught the attention of many dieters in the last couple of years and it is a conversation which takes place daily in most gyms.
Once you get past the many opinions of fitness enthusiasts and trainers, you're left with the actual science. Is there any relevant research which adds weight to this theory?
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.
People who have eaten that way for years often complain about feeling sluggish or bloated after a meal. That's a telltale sign that somebody has 'bitten off more than they can chew', i.e. provided their body with more nutrients than it can physically handle. As a result, body fat stores increase.
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.
