How much do you eat?

What I have found that works for me is staying on a schedule of eating every 2-3 hours. I usually have my AdvoCare Meal Replacement shake for breakfast, a snack at 10/10:30, lunch, snack at 2/3:00 and possibly another snack before supper at 5 or 5:30 depending on how busy our schedule is. If I eat an early supper I will work in a light snack before bed. I know! That's a lot of eating! What I also know that is by not eating your body holds on to the fat and stores it. If you skip breakfast or lunch your body thinks it is not going to get fed. By feeding your body every 2 to 3 hours it kicks in that metabolism and let's your body burn the fat because it knows you are going to feed it. In turn you lose weight! Yes, you eat to lose weight! Now, these meals do not consist of junk or fast food. If I do have to eat out I try to make the healthiest choices that I can. Yes, it can be done! Again my shake for breakfast is going to have balanced carbs and protein for easy digestion and balanced glucose levels. My snack in the morning usually consists of fruit and a protein with it. Lunch is a salad with protein or some sort of protein and vegetable (lots of times it's leftovers from the night before), my afternoon snack may consist of another fruit with an AdvoCare Pro20 or an AdvoCare snack bar of some sort and of course supper with protein and veggies. Notice my meals and snacks usually consist of some protein. I am very active! With four boys, homeschool, housework, exercising and just keeping up with the day I make sure I get the protein in my diet that I need! This also feeds those muscles! So, don't think that not eating is helping you lose weight. It's not! Eat!! Your body needs fuel to run!

Give yourself grace also. I don't eat perfect daily. We eat birthday cake, take the kids out for ice cream or an occasional donut! But all this in moderation at all times and especially if you have a goal to reach!


A favorite product of mine is AdvoCare Catalyst. Catalyst protects your lean muscle during weight loss but also helps build your lean muscle.
