Why it is important to eat regular meals




The majority of us find it hard to make eating a priority in life, whether its down to a busy schedule, travelling or possibly kids. Others tend to eat just three square meals a day and feel this is sufficient. In reality eating three meals is plenty but for those who want to function at a high level, burn fat and increase energy well then three just wont cut it. It has been proven that eating every 2.5 - 3 hours will not only speed up your metabolism, decrease appetite, Increase energy levels but also help you burn fat. Eating a well balanced meal every 2.5 - 3 hours has been proven to benefit the body in all of those ways, it also has been proven to lower cholesterol, balance insulin levels which prevents heart disease and balance sugar levels, which stops you from snacking on unhealthy foods. By eating regularly your are continually sending signals to the brain to not store fat, in some ways tricking the body. To follow through on this idea, a person needs to be prepared. The idea of eating so often does not need to be scary, each meal does not need to be a home cooked hot meal. The key to this idea is to prepare, Cook the night before and plan ahead also try cooking in bulk and freezing. 






















- Have a plan based around your schedule
- Make a chart 
- Eat within the first thirty minutes of rising 
- Bring healthy snacks and lunchboxes 
- Don't get lazy
- Control portion size 
- Eating after six is a myth, you should continue to include 
healthy meals up until two or three hours before bed time.
- ( May not be suitable for people who have issues with overeating ) 
- Reap the benefits
