“You must dare to disassociate yourself
from those who would delay your journey… Leave, depart, if not
physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and
venture toward trueness at last.”
— Vernon Howard
One of the most prevalent myth is that eating more frequently speeds up your metabolism. Eating six times a day isn’t going to help you burn more calories than eating 3 times a day. The idea behind this myth is thermic response —calories burned processing the food you eat. The idea is the more frequent you eat the higher the thermic response and thus more calories are burned. A lot of people swear by this as the reason why the lost weight. They misunderstand the cause and effect of the reason. Its a matter of eating pattern. They eat SMALLER frequently which makes them less hungry causing them to eat less— thus creating a CALORIE DEFICIT. The last two words is the ONLY reason you lose weight/ body fat….creating a CALORIE DEFICIT…not eating more frequently. So eating six times a day isn’t going to speed up your metabolism anymore than eating 3 times a day.
Bonus: Muscle doesn’t burn as much calories as people think
