1. Eat Small Meals Throughout the Day

This is a myth that even the most educated nutritionists fall victim too. The idea is that if we eat many small meals throughout the day our blood sugar will remain more stable and that it boosts metabolism.

Maybe this is true if we’re consuming sugary, high carb foods that create a blood sugar roller coaster. However for anyone who knows just how bad these types of foods are, eating 6 times a day shouldn’t be a concern.

While many small meals can speed up metabolism, it certainly isn’t significant- nothing to call home about. Metabolism could just as easily be amped by eating more spicy thermogenic foods.
