Stoking the metabolism.

Have you ever had one of those overbearing wafer like friends that
constantly stuffed their face?

My brother is one of those types. He is constantly eating and
somehow he never gains an ounce. On the other hand is my sister,
she is clinically obese, but eats only once or twice a day.

The main reason for this is the metabolism rates for both are
different. They may have the same DNA, but their metabolisms rates
deviate greatly.

In order to lose weight, you must be able to stoke your metabolism.
I want you to think of your metabolism as a small fire. You do
not keep a small fire lit by throwing huge logs on it once or twice
a day. You continually need to keep feeding it kindling and small
logs. The fire maintained in the later fashion burns strong and
bright all day.

You want to lose weight?

You have to eat 5-6 small meals a day. I am not refering to driving
through Burger King six times a day. I am referring to small meals
eaten every 2-3 hours.

A small meal consists of a protein source and hopefully a fiber
source. You can also alternate a complex carbohydrate
(you will learn more about carb cyling later).

Here is how I start each day.(6:00 am)
I consume 5 egg whites, 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal(good fiber).

Midmorning snack (9:00 am)
Protein shake or bar.

Noon
Roast Beef on whole grain bread, an apple, low fat cottage cheese.

Midday snack (3:00 pm)

Boiled egg whites or tuna fish packet.

Supper(6:00 pm)
Chicken breast or fish, broccoli or asparagus, sometimes rice.

I want you to understand that this is just an example. I have been
eating clean for years now and I have many different recipes to
spice up my meal plan.

Stay tuned for the myths behind Carbohydrates. I am also going to
let you in on my amazing weight loss. I have pictures coming soon.
