You want to know the biggest secret to stop both the nagging cravings for food and the constant lack of energy? Getting your blood sugar under control. We are such a fast paced, constantly moving society now that we’ve completely forgotten the importance of eating every few hours. I know, {insert all of the excuses as to why you can’t}. Trust me, I get it. I see clients back to back literally from day to night. The bottom line is, you have to figure it out. And you can, it just takes some prep work and organization. And you know your metabolism is raising and you’re burning fat when you body gets accustomed to constantly eating small meals all day. Once you have it down, you’ll never be able to go back to your 1 or 2 big meals that leave your stomach bigger by storing more fat and lacking energy because of the quick surges of insulin.
So, to start:
- Eat 5 small meals a day with as much real food as possible
- Make sure each meal consists of a Low Glycemic Carb, some lean meat for protein, and a little preferably good fat and lots and lots of veggies
The only way getting 5 meals a day in is possible is with meal prepping. Make a few meals on Sunday and put them in lots of small Tupperware dishes. Each day grab a few so all you have to do is stick it in the microwave for a minute and eat it up. {Insert more excuses.} Trust me, I get it. Most of the time my food never hits the fridge, but then I don’t have to eat it up either. Yes I know, not nearly as appetizing as going to a restaurant. But then again, you will never lose weight eating most of your meals out. Bottom Line. The good thing, this method will help you take the pleasure out of eating. Mentally you won’t be depriving yourself, in fact the exact opposite and it’ll be less addicting choices; both will slowly help take the love of food away, our ultimate goal.
