7. Eat freshly cooked
food
Food looses its nutrition as it ages so eat it fresh. Prepared food available in the
market normally has a lot of preservatives, sweeteners and unhealthy fats to
increase Poole shelf life, avoid it as much as possible.

the morning

9. Eat small portions every two
hours
When the body is starving, it goes into the conservation mode and starts to
conserve fat. If it gets food every two hours, it will not worry about conserving and
burn everything quickly.

10. Eat fruits and sweets by
themselves as a meal
Fruits and sweets are high in calories. If you eat them on an already full stomach,
the chances of them converting into fat are much higher.

11. Take a power nap after
lunch
Preferably on the left side. This allows your body to focus on digestion only. If the
nap was longer than 20 minutes, the food will be converted into fat because of
inactivity.
