How to lose weight the secret revealed once and for all Part 2

This Hub is the second part to a two Hub series on the secret to losing weight once and for all.

If you have not read the first Hub which is crucial to make this work then you really should go back and read it then come back and read this one so everything makes sense. To read part 1 click here.

The truth is that there really is no secret to losing weight. What there is though is having just a bit of knowledge and know how about losing weight.

Companies make it very hard for you to really know how to lose weight easily because of all of the information they are throwing at you to sell their products or services. Some work and some don’t.

The fact is that you really don’t need a fancy diet or fancy workout plan to lose weight.

Sure those things will help you a bit but from what I can tell is that most of the time just make things more confusing for you.

What I am sharing with you is some basic easy to understand knowledge that will bring you big results in a short period of time.

This particular Hub is about when to eat your calories throughout the day. The 1^st hub was about eating fewer calories and how that works. Let’s get started.

Once you know how many calories you want to eat in a day you need to plan your meals properly to optimize fat loss.

Traditionally most people believe you should eat 3 big meals every day. The truth is that you shouldn’t just eat 3 large meals every day.

Your body can only use so many calories at a time and with eating 3 large meals you are guaranteeing that you will be eating to many calories at one sitting even if the total calories of all 3 meals is right on target to what you should be getting for the day.

What you should be doing is eating smaller meals and more than three meals a day to spread those calories out.

By doing this you will be keeping your metabolism stoked and you will be constantly feeding your body and the bonus to eating like this is that your body will get used to being fed this often and will be more willing to letting go of your fat stores.

When you don’t eat meals every 3 hours or so your body will be a bit stingier with releasing those fat stores.

Whereas eat 5 to 6 small meals and snacks spread out throughout the day and your body will get used to the constant feeding and will not feel that there is a threat of being without food so will let that fat go.

Eating this way will also help to keep your blood sugar levels stable which means you won’t get cravings as much after eating like this for a little while.

For me it only takes a few days and my cravings go away. It really is incredible how fast the body adapts.

Of course certain types of foods like starchy carbohydrates will cause your blood sugar to spike which in turn causes cravings etc but we are just talking about calories here.

Let’s say you want to consume 2000 calories in a day here is how I would break out the meals and snacks. I would have 3 meals each with a calorie count of around 500, 400 and 400.

That leaves you with 700 calories to split over 3 snacks. They can be 300, 200 and 200. You get the picture.

If you are really serious about shedding fat then I would not go over 650 calories in one meal. I swear you will thank me in a couple months or even less.

Remember in the 1^st part to this subject I talked about changing up the amount of calories you eat every day to keep your body on its toes.

Don’t forget to do that.

The last couple things I want you to do is eat within an hour of waking up and have your last snack at least 3 hours before you go to bed.

You should have a small amount of food in your stomach when you sleep but not that much. Just enough so you’re not waking because of hunger pains.

To summarize:

Do not eat large meals.

Eat 5 or 6 small meals and snacks every day.

Change up the amount of calories you eat every day.

Eat as soon as you wake and stop eating at least 3 hours before bed.

One thing I did not mention in this article but will now. Drink plenty of water and tea.

That is it. Once you get the meals and snack times down then you can start tweaking the types of foods you are eating to healthier choices. One step at a time though.

A couple of things I tell myself almost every day is to eat to fuel not to fill and less is more. It works for me.

Good luck with your weight loss.

Please let me know how you do.
