Metabolism: the thing we take for granted until we reach our early 30s and notice we can’t eat whatever we want! Everyone seems to think that in order to be skinny you have to eat less! You would think that would be the case buuuut unfortunately it’s NOT! Similar to a bicycle, your metabolism needs momentum to work. To get the most out of your metabolism, you need to eat smaller portions more frequently throughout the day.
Metabolism works in a mysterious way, and when you aren’t familiar with how it works it can be easily misconstrued. Eating more frequently revs up your metabolism, kicks it into high gear, and allows your body to burn more calories throughout the course of the day. It also allows the body to get away with a cheat every so often, perhaps your favorite caramel macchiato from Starbucks, without having a significant impact on your weight-loss goals!
Now how do we go about mastering our metabolism?! You can work out all day long, put in all this hard work at the gym, but guess what? It will NOT get you those six-pack abs or that tight tummy. Abs are made in the kitchen, ladies, and I cannot stress it enough. I went through this at one point, working out hard in the gym and not seeing ANY results because my eating plan was off. What I thought was healthy then, wasn’t! I hadn’t mastered my metabolism.
How can you master your metabolism? Eat MORE to weigh LESS. I know it is a strange concept, but the best way to keep your metabolism going is by eating every two to three hours. At first it seems like a lot, but this is necessary to keep that metabolism going. Speeding up your metabolism will burn more calories throughout the day! The less you eat, the more your body goes into “starvation mode,” preserving the fat in fear of not getting any food. So the main point in mastering your metabolism is eating every two to three hours. Here is a quick trim plan to get us back on track shedding that weight!
