One of the most important rules to follow when trying to lose weight are to eat 6 meals a day. I know that people told you this 100 times already, but question yourself, how often do you really do it? Consuming 6 littler meals a day cannot be a sometimes event or even a most of the time thing. It has to be everyday. The philosophy behind daily is because then you may eat six meals ninety percent of the time. If you happen to say that you are going to do it the majority of the time then you'll only end up following it 50% of the time.
Now, I realize that this takes lots of work. You need to figure out what you are going to consume. You are going to have to look at where you are going to be during the day and how you will need to get your meals. Should you happen to be at a cookout with friends and when they pull out the food you pull out a protein shake and an apple, you are going to have to take any grief like "what, is my food not adequate for you?"
I have actually been to places where people got upset with me because I ate my own food and did not eat what was on their menu. This will be a situation that you need to deal with. There was an adjustment period with family and friends to get used to this. Now they are used to it and truly encourage me. You just really should explain to them why you do this and ask them to understand and respect your choice.
Now a days most the population reading this have no worries about starvation. This was not always so. During the time of our early ancestor’s, our bodies learned to be very efficient. Since they never knew when the next meal was coming they stored the calories as fat. But eating six smaller meals a day the body doesn't go into starvation mode. Therefore it will not store the as many calories as body fat.
The other key with small meals is that it is encoded into our brain that if we consume a large meal it means we are uncertain of when we are going to eat next. Again this just isn't your fault and it is not your parents fault. It is how we were programmed. The earlier you acknowledge this the faster you will drop the weight.
