First and best rule to learn when trying to lose weight, is EAT SOME MORE! No, seriously. It's been stated by meany dieticians that eating 5-6 times a day increases your metabolism rate and will help you to lose weight faster. They recommend eating within an hour of waking up and to never eat within the hour before you're going to bed.

It is also recommended to eat as follows:

1. Breakfast (light, healthy foods, low oils and low calories) - Look at items like Mueslis or other foods that releases energy over a time period to keep your energy levels up.


2. Snack (around mid morning). Have some fruit salad or low fat biscuits with tea.


3. Lunch - your main meal of the day! Low fat, low sugar foods, don't supersize!


4. Snack (around mid afternoon) - Have another fruit or two or low fat pretzel sticks etc.


5. Dinner - Have a mid-sized dinner and a treat (chocolate bar or something)

To top this off, try and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. It helps your digestion and washes 'dirt' out of your system.
