Real Life System

Eating often

You need to eat every three or four hours when you're awake. Really!

Eating Often Not eating often enough will cause your body to go into "starvation mode." Three or four hours after a meal, your body needs more fuel. If you don't eat it will try to preserve itself by storing fuel (as fat) for future use and converting lean muscle mass to fuel. This slows your metabolism and causes stress to your kidneys and liver.

Proving to your body that there is a constant source of fuel available will convince it that fat stores are not necessary. Then and only then will your body convert stored fat to fuel and use it up. You need to eat every three or four hours!

When you do this consistently, your blood glucose (sugar) levels won't dip and you won't feel that familiar energy sag. Your body needs blood glucose to burn fat, so by maintaining a higher glucose level all day long, you will convert more fat to fuel.

The Real Life System will get you eating every three or four hours throughout the day, therefore optimizing your body's efficiency and avoiding "starvation mode".
