6. Eat 5 or 6 smaller balanced meals per day
One of the keys to being able to access body fat as a source of energy is to maintain even blood sugar throughout the day. Even blood sugar and energy is achieved by having 5 to 6 well spaced smaller meals and making sure each meal has a correct balance of protein (essential amino acids) carbohydrate and fats (essential fatty acids).
The majority of your carbohydrates should be ones that increase blood sugar slowly. Do this by reducing all sugars and starchy carbohydrate foods, and replacing them with fruits, salads, vegetables and whole-unprocessed grains. This will also increase your nutrient and fibre intake. Research shows that a high fibre intake (36 grams plus) may reduce the calories adsorbed from foods by up to 130 calories.
