Naturally Shrink your Stomach

I have posted information concerning mini meals in the past and wanted to remind you of the importance of implementing mini meals into your eating plan.  Once you follow the mini meal plan for a week you will see how easy it is and the benefits of feeling full and reduced cravings.  Eating 5 mini meals 3 hours apart is the natural alternative to stomach stapling and gastric bypass surgeries to shrink your stomach.  After following the mini meal plan you will begin to naturally shrink your stomach. 

I found the following information from nutritionist Josh Bezoni to be really interesting.  I have been following this eating plan and know it will benefit you also.  Give this a try and see how you can change your body by eating healthy foods more often in 5 mini meals instead of 3 large ones.

 I  have been experimenting with portion control and eating less more often throughout the day not really knowing why it works until I read information from Josh Bezoni on the topic.  This way of eating works because it helps you reduce the hormone known as cortisol in your body.  All people have this hormone which responds to chronic stress and is a major cause of belly fat.  The higher your cortisol level the more fat you usually have.  Eating small mini means 3 hours apart instead of 3 large meals will help reduce your cortisol and help get rid of the belly fat.  This has been proven in the following study.

A study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine where people eating mini meals 3 hours apart everyday decresed their cortisol levels by 17% compared to people eating the same amount of food in 3 large meals.  This in turn proves you can loose fat by eating the same amount of food just stretched out over 5 mini meals instead of 3 large ones.  The reason this works is that you increase your calorie burning metabolism and have better nutrient absorption.  Basically you keep your  body fed and therefore your metablolism is charged, this allows you to burn fat and better break down the food you are eating into your system.  This method of eating will also have a leveling effect on two other hunger and fat storing hormones (leptin and insulin).

This way of eating once again goes back to portion  control and the ability to control the quantity and quality of the foods you are eating.  You cannot just eat any junk food that you want or high fat foods and stretch them out over 5 mini meals instead of 3 large meals and expect to have positive results.  You must include fat burning foods and keep your mini meals to around 300 calories.  Your meals should not have any processed foods or junk food.  The foods should include foods such as those listed in the 15 top fat burning foods below.

The 5 mini meals need to be 3 hours apart.  I have begun using the following times (7a.m., 10, 1, 4, and 7p.m.) however you can create any time frame that works best for you. Keep in mind that mentally and physically eating 5 mini meals does seem weird at first.  Your body needs to get use to this way of eating.  Because your stomach is stretched and use to eating a large meal it will take a few days to shrink your stomach to where you feel satisfied and full.  At first you may feel hungry and not seem full however if you stick with the plan for a few days you will see a difference and begin to feel full when you eat.  I also include the green coffee beans and raspberry ketone within my eating plan and that helps with cravings and to burn fat.  I take one 400mg green coffee bean extract supplement in the morning about a half hour before I eat and then a raspberry ketone 100mg a half hour before my 1 and 4 o'clock  meals. I also include 1000 i.u of vitamin D and  one dropper of liquid B-Total once

You will see a big difference in your body shape if you consistently follow eating 5 mini meals that are healthy 3 hours apart.  Be sure to include as many of the top fat burning foods as possible in your diet.  I eat avocados as often as possible on my omelets, in guacamole, and sliced on salads, hamburgers, or sandwiches.  They are the #1 fat burning food.  Try to eat as many of the following as possible.
Top 15 fat burning foods include:
Avocados
Peanut/Almond butter
healthy oils ( olive/coconut)
vegetables
omelets
green tea (great both iced and hot, add some honey for added health benefits)
