Reach Fat Loss Goals With Willpower And Smarts, 1

You need willpower and smarts to reach your fat loss goals. If you have the desire then you can reach your fat loss goals if you:

1. Train smart

2. Eat smart

3. Take care of your body

Let's look at one rule today to help you eat smart:

Control your hunger during the day so you don't overeat when you do eat! Do this by eating small meals every 3-4 hours (never skip breakfast) to keep your metabolism ramped up.

Another way to control your hunger pangs is to eat protein with every meal. You don't need to do protein shakes...just eat the right foods. Research has proven that protein keeps blood sugar levels more steady and helps you feel fuller for a longer period (slower digestion). Protein also keeps the hunger hormone (ghrelin) in check so your hunger doesn't spike so high.

If you feel fuller for longer periods, you will eat less and you won't binge eat if your hunger pangs are "not out the roof" when you do eat. Use your eating smarts!
