Now imagine another scenario…you start your fire with a few pieces of wood, it’s blazing.  In a couple of hours, before the fire has a chance to slow down too much, you through another 2-3 pieces of wood in it.  What happens? It blazes again, nice and strong, burns the wood up real fast.

Think of your metabolism like a fire.  The less you feed it, the slower it burns (calories).  The more often you toss in a few small, sensible meals, it continues to blaze and burn off calories real quickly.

Don’t you hate those people who can eat whatever they want and never gain a pound?  They have a fast metabolism. You may not, but you can train your metabolism to speed up, just by eating the right foods frequently.

This is why you always here people saying eat 5-6 small meals per day.  Ok so what constitutes a small meal?  Here are a few examples.  Keep in mind portions, a portion healty portion should be the size of your fist or palm.

Examples of small meals:

• Breakfast- egg whites and oatmeal
• Lunch: sliced turkey, apples, broccoli
• Dinner: Salmon, brown rice, veggies

If you eat meals like this, you can eat 5-6 times a day.  You will never feel hungry or deprived, your metabolism will be stimulated to burn calories efficiently, and you will lose weight.
