The Big Little Weight Loss Secret
To succeed with the BIG little secret you will have to follow a consistent eating plan. This consistency will give you a sense of control over your eating habits, and will assure you of two things:
1) You will never be left hungry, thus causing you to over eat at your next meal.
2) You will encourage your metabolism to speed up, as you are going to be feeding your body often.
A good example of the schedule you will need to adhere to is:
1) Eat breakfast within one hour of waking up. So if you’re an early bird, and usually wake up at 5am, you need to have had your breakfast by 6am. The late risers(lucky ones) must adhere to the same rule, but need to don’t forget that they need to have their last meal 3 hours before going to bed. This could mean you may need to get up earlier or go to bed later – the choice is yours.
2) Have a snack 2-3 hours soon after your breakfast. Now, you might truly not be hungry yet, but eat anyway. Your metabolism will soon understand it needs to function more.
3) Now for lunch – also 2-3 hours soon after your snack. Yes, you are not hungry here either, but eat anyway.Your portions do not have to be big, just sufficient to activate the metabolism once again.
4) Oh dear you need to eat again. Just a little snack 2-3 hours after lunch. It can be hard to eat so much when you normally eat just once or twice a day, like the majority of us do.
5) Dinner time arrives. By now you might be dreading the idea of much more food. But, persevere. 2-3 hours following your last snack you will finally have the last meal of the day. Make sure it’s 3 hours before you retire for the evening.
Now you are wondering – What foods do I eat at these times?
Breakfast – oat meal with non-fat milk, fruit, low-fat yogurt, whole wheat toast, low fat cream cheese, scrambled egg whites etc. Remember NOT all at once. Mix and match 2 foods to suit your taste. Egg yolks are to be avoided, but who can stomache scrambled egg white?
Snacks – can consist of health bars, fruit, low fat yogurt etc. (We are wanting to lose weight so we do need to watch our fat intake)
Lunch – Canned Tuna (in water), low fat mayo, whole wheat bread, broth based soup, low fat Swiss cheese, baked potato, fruit, vegetables (steamed), white meat of a turkey, low fat ham etc. Here you mix and match to your very own taste. Bear in mind don’t over indulge, as you’re going to have another snack in a couple of hours time.
Dinner – pasta, chicken breasts, mixture of vegetables (steamed), grilled lean red meat, brown rice, salads, grilled fish, fresh fruit, baked potato etc. Again you mix and match to suit your taste. You probably won’t overeat here as you are not genuinely that hungry. Following all the food you’ve eaten during the day remember to eat at the least three hours before you go to bed.
Important Note: Water is really important throughout this time. It flushes out the toxins your body is releasing with the new active metabolism. So attempt to drink up to two liters of water during the day. It also helps with hunger pangs if these occur.
It is also a good idea to take multi-vitamins during this time, as it is difficult to get sufficient nutrients from the diet program alone.
