Eat first thing in the morning. Our metabolism starts out very low in the morning when we wake up, and then it gradually rises as the day goes on, and peaks at around 6pm. Then it starts to gradually decrease so that we may sleep naturally. If you eat first thing in the morning you actually give your metabolism a jump start. Eat smaller meals more often.
Digestion takes a large number of calories to complete.
Therefore, the more often you eat, the more often you are digesting. So digest often and don't allow any more than 4 hours in between meals. Eat every 2-3 during the day. Drink 8 8oz glasses of water every single day. Water has been shown in several studies to increase our metabolism, and make weight loss easier.
