How to Lose Weight Fast - More Meals

I know this sounds weird to many of you..but

Let me explain to you the reasons why we should take more meals on a daily basis in order to lose real weight fast.

Reason #1: You lie to your body that there are plenty of foods around you! When your body believes so, it will stop storing fat and try to use up as much foods as possible to transform it into energy.

Reason #2: When you eat more, you can achieve an energy balance in your body. Let me put it in this way, you should not have a huge energy difference any point of time i.e.: calories consumption should not be much higher than calories input at any point time. Eating more meals can help to reach the energy balance. Energy imbalance is one of the main root cause of weight gain.

Reason #3: When you eat more meals, you can intake more nutrients as well. When you intake sufficient amount of nutrients, your body can be more active as the nutrients are like fuels to charge your body. When your body is active, the metabolism is high. The fat can be burned pretty fast with high metabolism rate. One of the nutrients which is protein is very important as well, It acts like a carpenter to repair and build your muscles. When you have more lean muscles, the fat can be burned! Study has proven that 1 pound of muscles gain can actually consume 50 additional calories daily!

My recommendation is to have 3 main meals and 2 snacks (1 snack between 2 main meals) Check out This Free Fat Burning Video

5 Nutrition Tips for Fat Burning


Today, I would like to share with you a few tips to help you to maximize the fat burning power. Along with the correct diet and exercises, some tips can really give you a boost to speed up the weight loss journey.





Weight Loss Tips #1: Always record what you eat daily
A eating record can help you to understand what you eat wrong. By referring to the record, you can always adjust your eating habit back to the correct one. For instance, you may not be able to realize how much sugar you take in the past 7 days if you do not have a record. This is useful, trust me..

Weight Loss Tips #2: Eat Slowly
The brain can only receive the signal of saturation from your digestion after 20 minutes. This a huge time delay! Make sure you eat slow to prevent yourself from over eating.

Weight Loss Tips #3: Drink More
Don't get mistaken... I don't mean alcohol :) I am talking about fluid like unsweetened herbal tea, flower tea and most importantly water! Drink at least 3 liters of water daily. Water is the essential nutrient itself and it can deliver nutrients to body cells as well.

Weight Loss Tips #4: More Meals but Small
5 small meals a day is better than 3 big meals a day.

Weight Loss Tips #5: Replace Your Snacks
If you feel hungry between meals, eat vegetables / fruits (avoid the sour fruits like oranges / tomatoes when your stomach is empty) instead of high-calorie snacks like peanuts or cracker.

Foods that Make You Lose Weight - Carbohydrate Free

Besides exercising hard, diet and foods play a very important role to make you lose weight. As many people may know, carbohydrate foods can increase the possibility of fat accumulation in the body.

So, the ideal case of diet is to include as much as carbohydrate-free foods into your daily diet menu.

In this article, we will find out some carbohydrate-free foods which you can include them into your diet plan.

Chicken is the best choice as it is carbohydrate-free. For fishes wise, salmon & sardines are the choices if you want to lose weight while still consuming some meats.

All kind of vegetables & fruits are definitely essential in your diet. They have no carbohydrate and most importantly, the rich amount of fiber can help the bowel movement which can detoxify your body.

Olive & sunflower oil has no carbohydrate. However, it is not a good idea either to overly consume olive & sunflower oil as the calories level is quite high.

Lastly, stay away from beer and all kind of soft drinks and drink water instead! Water is the most essential element to balance & neutralize your body.

Besides good diet management, consistent exercise is essential in helping you to lose weight fast as well.

5 Most Dangerous Foods to Avoid


I should admit that it is a bit exaggerating to use the word: "dangerous" to describe foods. However, when it comes to the case where you wanna make up your mind to lose weight, it is not exaggerating at all. No more nonsense. What are the top 5 most "dangerous foods" that can not only stop you from losing weight but helping you to gain weight like crazy? Here you are.....


  1. Cheese: Cheese consists of proteins and fat from milk. Studies have shown that cheese can help in various disease prevention, however the saturated fat content of cheese can make you gain pounds in very short of time.
  2. Chocolate: Chocolate is a energy dense food. When you over eat energy dense food and lacking of exercises, the energy can transform to body fat and you need huge effort to get rid of it.
  3. Butter: 10 gram of Salted butter has around 80 calories which can be a huge obstacle in your weight loss plan.
  4. Banana: Banana is no doubt having very high amount of nutrients, but I do not recommend this to people who want to lose weight as it contains very high amount of calories. One small banana can give you around 15 calories.
  5. Peanut: You should avoid peanut and any foods processed by peanut. You know what, 100g of peanuts contains as high as 600 calories!

4 Top Diet Habits to Lose Weight


I have mentioned in my previous posts that in order to lose weight fast, aerobic exercise is the most efficient way.

In fact, diet can't be forgotten as well.

  1. Plan your meal a day before and stick to the plan the next day. By doing so, you can refrain yourself from intaking "junk food" in the next day.
  2. Start your day by having high fiber breakfast like cereal.
  3. Have at least 4 meals a day but in small portion. This is the killer method to lose weight fast. Read the article of Lose The Tummy Fat for Further Discovery.
  4. Drink plenty of water between the meals to make your body hydrated. This is super useful in your body detoxification.

Atkins Diet - Lose Weight

Over the past few decades, the Atkins diet has really hit the diet world with full force. This health phenomenon is based on The Atkins Diet, a book by Dr. Robert C. Atkins. His concept for weight loss is that we need to be concerned with the carbohydrates we eat, not the fat. Many people have found great success using the Atkins diet. However, it is not for everyone. Before you start the Atkins diet, or any kind of diet, talk to your doctor to make sure it is a good idea for you.

When you’re on the Atkins diet, there will be little calorie counting, but say good-bye to junk foods and processed foods. You will also be eating few carbohydrates and many foods high in protein. The theory behind the low-carb diet found with the Atkins diet is that by reducing your intake of these foods, you will enter a phase in your body called ketosis. During ketosis, your body will burn fat in the body for fuel instead of using the foods in your diet, which will in turn stop insulin production, which will in turn prevent more fat from being stored.

There are four main stages to the Atkins diet: induction, ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, and maintenance. During the first two weeks, you are in the induction stage. During this time, many people report losing 15 pounds or more, simply because carbohydrate intake is cut down to 20 grams every day. The only carbs you can have are low-carb vegetables, and even then they are very limited. The second stage, known as ongoing weight loss, will let you have 25 grams every day. You will then move on to pre-maintenance, in which you can try out other foods to see what carbohydrates you can add into your diet. After you’ve reached your weight loss goals, you may eat all good carbs, but the premise behind the diet plan is that you won’t want to eat these foods. Choosing healthy carbs will become a way of life.

As with any diet, you’ll have to exercise in order to lose weight. Healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, are also important. Many people have called into question the safety of the Atkins diet due to its severe methods, and some say that the plan only makes you bounce back to your original weight as so as you hit the maintenance level. The key is to find something that works for you and your weight loss goals and that is healthy for your body.
