1. 5 Small Meals! Eating every 3 to 4 hours (three meals & two snacks) will help your body function and improve its metabolism. Start your day with a good healthy breakfast to initiate the burning process. Your body needs a source of protein and carbohydrate at breakfast. Continue your day eating a good source of protein, carbohydrates and some fats every 3 to 4 hours, totaling 5 meals. Do not let your body go more than 4 hours without food as you may slow down your metabolism!
2. Every meal should consist of a balance of complex carbohydrates (brown rice, wheat bread, pasta, etc.,) also simple carbohydrates (fruit), lean proteins (chicken, egg whites, fish) and or low fat dairy products that contain high amounts of protein (cottage cheese, yogurt etc.). Use minimal amounts of fats, examples of good fat would be: all natural peanut butter, olive oil, almonds, avocados, and flax seed oil.
