Tip # 6 -- Increase the Number of Meals You Consume Each Day

On average, you should be eating a combination of lean protein and vegetable or whole grain that is low in fat and high in fiber every 3-4 hours. Start by eating your breakfast within one hour of waking up. Then eat a small balanced meal every 3-4 hours after that for a total of 4-6 small meals spaced evenly throughout the day. Doing so will speed up your metabolism and give you an almost unfair advantage over those who only eat the normal three meals or less each day.
