Eating smaller meals often.

A lot of times people think that if they skip breakfast and have just lunch and dinner they will loose weight when in reality you will gain more weight. Your metabolism is kind of like a fire. You don't start a fire with a huge chunk of wood. You typically start it with kindling and and build it up slowly. Once it's going you don't leave it and then toss another chunk of wood on it. You add wood regularly to keep it going.

With our meals, we should eat a decent size breakfast, not gorge ourselves. Between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner its important to have a healthy snack to keep your metabolism burning strongly all day long.
