Nutrition plays a huge role in weight loss and weight management. Ideally, 70% of the emphasis should be placed on nutrition and 30% on exercise in order to achieve results. If you exercise really hard for an hour a day, that still leaves 23 hours in which you can eat back all the calories you’ve just burned. It is so easy to do, so keeping on track of you nutrition is a very important part of your weight loss battle. The good news is that there are lots of little ways in which you can improve you eating habits. Eating 5-6 small meals a day rather than 2-3 larger ones is a great way to start. Think of your stomach just like any other muscle in your body. When it is working, you are burning energy and calories. So, by breaking up your daily intake into smaller more frequent meals, you are consuming the same number of calories but you stomach is working harder to digest that food translating into weight loss for you!
