Live to eat, or eat to live, which one do we live by. We should eat to live, but most of us live to eat. I am one of those that live to eat. I love food, I love the look, the smell and the taste of food. I like to eat out all the time, and having dinner parties with lots of yummy food and drinks. Therefor I am also part of the hugely overweight population of the world. I have been struggling for years to lose unwanted weight fast.

I write this to share with you today a very important secret many of us don't know about, and don't use. This works wonders, and I have had success with this very small habit the last few months. I am not yet at the point where I can say that I have reduced all my unwanted weight, yet. But one thing is for sure, I see and feel results and I am getting there. I will be at my ideal weight in no time at all.

So, what is the secret you ask. Well, it's all about portion size. The average person's stomach is supposed to be as big as your two fists put together. That is the amount of food your body needs to generate enough energy for your everyday tasks. The ideal eating habit is to eat just that amount of healthy food at least six times a day, and you will have more energy and less fat.

What I have done, that works wonders is cutting down on
my portions per meal. I take breakfast, lunch and supper with healthy snacks in between meals, spread out over a three hour period. The idea is to have smaller meals more often throughout the day. Keeping in mind not to eat after sun down as well, the food we eat during the day should be burnt as energy while we are active, after sundown we generally get less active, therefor less energy is burns from what we eat, and it is naturally stored as fat.

The cutting of my portions works as follows, I started first by taking my big plat I usually had and cut it by a third for the first week. Then every week thereafter I cut my portion with a third again. It took me a total of about two months to get down to the size of my meal being as much as my two fists put together. If you work it out you'll see that I was actually eating a lot of unnecessary food that my body did not need and could not transform it all into energy until the next big meal, therefor my body stored everything into unwanted fat.

By cutting my portions with the initial result being to reduce unwanted weight, I have actually done a few very good things for my body. I loose unwanted fat fast, my metabolism speeds up, my energy levels are higher and I just feel great.

Any diet that tells you to eat as much as you like and you will still lose unwanted fat fast, is lying to you. You need to eat less more often.
