When It Comes To Losing Weight And Nutrition, Eating More Is Healthier

By: Bruce A Tucker

When it comes to nutrition the first thoughts that pop into everyone’s mind is eating bland food, or starving yourself to lose weight. That is the furthest thing from the truth and my God if you are starving yourself to lose weight please stop immediately!

What many people do not realize is that if you eat less your metabolism will slow down. By slowing down your metabolism the rate at which you lose weight will also decrease. See what happens is your body will recognize that you are eating less and in turn go into a mode where it stores fat for energy later. It does this because it is not sure when more energy will arrive so it needs to save some for later. Amazing how complex the body is and regardless of what you do you are not going to fool it.


The best thing you can do for yourself and your body is to eat more. That is right, eat more! No that doesn’t mean eat more donuts and cupcakes and wash it down with additional two liter bottles of a sugary soda. It means to eat more often with well proportioned sizes of healthy foods.

Here is what you should do. It is a pretty simple plan and as long as you stick to it you will without a doubt lose weight.

Eat six meals every day. You will want to eat one meal every two and half to three hours each and every day. However you are not going to gorge yourself with food. You are going to eat well portioned meals.

Each meal should consist of equal portion sizes of protein, carbohydrates and green vegetables. A portion size should be the same size as your clenched fist. Now that you know how often to eat, what to eat and how much to eat, now you just need to substitute the above plan with food that you like.

For example, your first meal of the day could be one whole egg mixed with egg whites, combined with oatmeal or a slice of wheat toast. You can add you green veggie like spinach to your egg mixture and I personally think asparagus tips in an omelet are wonderful. Your next meal could be a pack of tuna, a small apple and a small leafy green salad.

You get the point. Learn how to prepare your meals in advance, in other words make them the night before, before you go to bed and it will be a lot easier on you the following day.

So you see losing weight and eating healthy really isn’t rocket science!
