Healthy Snacks are important in your daily diet. Don’t allow yourself to go 5-6 hours without eating. Eating small meals every 3-4 hours will increase your metabolism.
This is optimal. A stable metabolism will allow your body to burn fat at rest throughout the day and even when you are sleeping!
Fact! When you eat after 5,6 hours your blood sugar spikes, causing excess insulin in your blood. When there is excess insulin in your blood your body stores fat more easily. Drink more water. If you’re not drinking half your body weight in oz. you aren’t drinking enough. I always say…. You should never be starving or ravenously thirsty.
