Eat More Food, Lose More Fat…What??

Original Article from the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Blog

One of the most exciting aspects of Fat Loss 4 Idiots is that you get to eat more often (que applause).  In fact, it’s pretty much required.  We all know about eating “three square meals” a day.  Well, Fat Loss 4 Idiots uses recent nutrition science which tells us that eating more frequently is a boon to weight loss.  There are two generally accepted ideas which explain why eating more frequently results in more fat loss.

Stoking the Fire

One reason explaining why more meals means more fat loss claims that more frequent eating increases our metabolism.  It’s pretty simple: digesting food takes work.  Furthermore, food is used as energy and as “building blocks” for our body.  So, after eating, we have more energy, and more materials to maintain our body; this allows your body the luxury of “cranking up production”.

Think of it from a practical perspective.  Eating takes energy.  You have to chew and swallow your food.  When it gets to your stomach, you have to churn it around and mash it all up – the stomach is, in fact, a very powerful and active muscle.  After that, your intestines have to push to food through almost 30 feet of guts before you are finally done with your food.  10% of the energy you expend daily goes to digesting your food, and your metabolism is raised for a full 2 hours after eating.  In fact, after you eat, blood is diverted from many areas of the body to supply oxygen to the stomach and intestines to support their increased workload (this is why you cramp up if you try to swim after eating).

If you are eating more frequently, you are spending more energy digesting food.  Additionally, you are forcing your metabolism to remain more active for longer.  Think of your body like a campfire: you want to provide fuel frequently to keep the fire burning hot, all day long.  If you wait too long, the fire starts to die down, but if you feed it too much, you smother the fire and kill it off.  With Fat Loss 4 Idiots, you provide small, regular meals to keep the “fire” of your metabolism burning hot.

Stopping Hunger

There is another reason you eat more frequently on Fat Loss 4 Idiots.  Remember, what’s most important in terms of calories is that you don’t overeat at a given meal.  But if you feel like you are starving, you are almost certain to overeat next time you eat.  One of the reasons you eat so often with Fat Loss 4 Idiots is that it keeps you from feeling starved, and you don’t feel so hungry all the time.

Although we are less concerned with calorie intake over the course of the day on Fat Loss 4 Idiots, this is the way your body estimates how “starved” it is.  If it has been 7 hours since you ate last, your body knows – your stomach is empty and food has passed through a large portion of your small intestines.  This triggers signals letting you know it’s time to eat, and you will feel starved, regardless of how much you ate at your last meal.  Now, if it has been 2 hours since your last meal, your body won’t feel quite so deprived.  You have food in your stomach still, your body will not feel hungry at all.  Why should you be hungry, you just ate?  The meal timing of Fat Loss 4 Idiots will keep you from overeating at your next meal, because you are far less likely to be hungry.  In fact, you should feel like you spend your whole day eating with Fat Loss 4 Idiots!
