If you are one of those who prefers to eat three large meals a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) instead of five or six smaller ones, you should know that you are not contributing to your metabolism work at full capacity.
And when the metabolism runs slow, fewer calories are burned and therefore there is much more chance of gaining weight. On the other hand, when we do things to speed it up, it is easier hold the line and lose kilos.
People who make five or six meals small daily (breakfast, lunch, lunch, snack and dinner) increase the speed of your metabolism more often than those that for reasons of time or other issues only three large meals.
This is due to the fact that the metabolism undergoes slight accelerations every time we eat, which is why it is ideal to maintain the line and lose weight is dividing the calories we need daily into five or six intakes.
It should be noted that, according to doctors, the difference in calories burned It is small among people who eat three times and those who do it five or six times, but when trying not to gain weight it can be a fundamental help if this habit is combined with others such as exercising at least three times a week and the inclusion of foods from all groups in the diet, which is known as a balanced diet.
