Most people think that if they want to lose weight that they need to cut down their calorie intake in half and eliminate all carbs. That's stupid. Not only are you actually storing more fat that way, you're not providing your body enough calories to function properly. You should actually eat more!
The trick is to eat about 5-6 small meals a day and drink lots of water. People get too tied up into thinking about how hard it would be to change your eating habits but fail to realize how easy it is once you get started. My typical day of eating breaks down like this:
6AM/9AM/12PM/3PM/6PM/9PM
Just by eating every 3 hours like this, my metabolism is burning through calories just to keep up. The best part is when you incorporate exercise, you actually get to eat more. Your body needs calories for energy and when you take those calories away, you won't have any. I try to eat about 2500-3000 calories a day. That breaks down to about 400-500 calories a meal and when you're eating as many meals as I do, you're usually not feeling too hungry.
Next post will be about what kind of foods you should be eating so look out for the next one! Have a good day.

Awesome advice dude! I spread out meals and eat smallish throughout the day too. Makes a huge difference in shrinking the waistline! Thanks!
