We all need to commit to eating something every three to four hours. Eating smaller meals and healthy snacks throughout the day will keep our hunger satisfied, raise our fat-burning metabolic rate, preserve our lean muscle mass, and keep our moods more consistent. 

For the same reason why we should never skip breakfast, if we go too long without eating, we can actually cause our body to store fat to protect itself. It will even consume muscle rather than fat. This then means that we burn fewer calories and feel low in energy.

Scandinavian researchers recently tested two diets with athletes who were trying to lose weight. Although they all lost the same amount of weight, those who ate more often lost almost all their fat tissue. At Nagoya University in Japan, athletes who ate six meals a day were better able to preserve their muscle tissue while losing weight weight, while those who ate the same amount of calories in only two meals a day lost muscle tissue.

Many ideas for this and the other articles in this series were gathered from suggestions by Kathy Smith, a well-known fitness icon who has led the charge for exercising, losing weight, and eating healthy for over 30 years.
