How To Burn Fat, Law # 2
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Eat more of your calories at the beginning of the day and less at night. Meals 1-3 should be bigger than meals 4-6, and meal 1 should be the biggest, while meal 6 the smallest.
REASON:
Your metabolism is faster at the beginning of the day, versus at night time and hence, you'll burn and absorb the day-time calories. This way, you can typically eat MORE total calories without getting fat, rather than if you ate more at night.
Also, your insulin receptors work better during the day since you have less cortisol. At night, you have more stress hormones like cortisol released, which readily turn food into fat (hence, why most get sugar cravings at NIGHT time and don't feel like eating much during the day).
Additionally, try to have more of your carbohydrates during the day-meals and more protein during the evening meals. Again, all of this having to do with your insulin and cortisol, how to manipulate them and work WITH them, rather than against them.
Probably the hardest part about all of this this is having to eat LESS at night time, especially carbohydrates. I know for me and most everyone I know, we all tend to crave sugars and carbs more so at night, than during the day.
Some people use supplements to get rid of sugar cravings, but even if you don't use them, that's fine. Just tough it out the first few weeks of this new diet and your body will slowly adjust and adapt and you won't crave sugars as much - especially if you are eating often through out the day as mentioned in How To Burn Fat | Law # 1
