You Know the Formula. 

Here's Why It Works.

​

• FAT STORES: No matter how much you eat, it will be digested and either used as energy or stored as fat within 3 hours. Any calories that aren't used up for energy during those three hours will be locked up in your fat storage areas. NOTE: It is much harder to get "energy" (aka calories) out of your fat stores once they're stored. By eating smaller amounts more frequently, you'll burn more calories, and store less calories as fat. 
   

• METABOLISM: Our bodies are super smart. When we deprive them of calories for a large part of the day (fasting state), then our bodies think we are literally starving. Our bodies don't know the difference between running out of food in the wilderness vs. intentional fasting. In order to prolong life when we are in dire situations, our bodies become extremely "energy efficient" and burn calories at a SLOWER rate (NOT the goal). When your body knows that it's going to get a new energy supply every few hours then it burns up that energy more freely.
   

• BINGE EATING/POOR FOOD CHOICES: When we go too long without food and get super hungry, it becomes difficult to make good food choices. We tend to grab whatever is close by and fast and easy. By planning to eat every 3 hours, you are much more likely to make healthy choices.
   

• BLOOD SUGAR:  By eating a mini-meal with protein balance every three hours (instead of starving and snacking), you keep your blood sugar at a more even keel. This will help you regulate your blood sugars if you have diabetes, and will help you prevent diabetes if you don't. Most of us are insulin resistant LONG before pre-diabetes even shows up. Insulin resistance leads to stubborn weight gain and then accelerates our path to disease.
   

• ENERGY LEVELS: Research shows that if you just eat carbs or just eat protein for a meal or snack, your energy levels will dip and you will feel sluggish and tired. In order to have more consistent energy throughout the day, combine a lean protein with some healthy carbs (fruit, veggies, whole grains, nuts, legumes). You'll be feeling stronger and more energetic throughout the whole day!
   

• MUSCLE BUILDING and MAINTAINING: New research shows that when you eat protein throughout the day in 3-hour intervals, you BUILD muscle more effectively AND you LOSE muscle more slowly. Sarcopenia is a serious issue that hits people as they get older, but can be prevented by staying strong throughout your life! 
   

• IT WORKS. Give it a go. Don't ever eat LESS than your Magic Number of calories, and if you lose weight TOO FAST be sure to add a few calories to each mini-meal.   
   

But here's the thing. It's pretty easy to eat less and move more in theory. Making it stick and changing your old unhealthy habits into new healthy habits takes MORE than a formula (even if it is the BEST formula EVER).

You need community and expert support, motivation, and more information on HOW to eat healthy, HOW to workout safely and effective, HOW to plan for success, and HOW to implement your personal strategy so that you can LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW.
