The most unproductive part of any diet or exercise plan that is aimed at burning body fat is the first two weeks. It is tough because people need to have a little faith during the toughest time of a weight loss plan. My way of thinking about a diet is this...don't plan on losing any body fat at all the first two weeks. If you do, just look at is as a bonus.

A big argument for eating 6 meals per day, is that the 6 small meals supposedly increases the metabolic rate. It is also argued that if you skip meals, you metabolism will shut down and your body will hoard fat. Well the British Journal of Nutrition has cited a study which proves this theory wrong.

There is something interesting I have discovered about people who have a tough time losing weight. Typically they can't go very long without food, otherwise they get lightheaded, weak or grumpy. The reason for this is that they haven't trained their body to use fat as fuel.
