I wonder why certain people are just blessed with a great metabolism. Don’t you always have that one friend that can just eat anything they want, and never gain an ounce? And, why is it that a lot of times the really thin people seem like they are constantly eating? I have heard that it is good for your metabolism to eat small meals more frequently throughout the day. This is because your body has to keep itself working to digest the food that you are putting in your body.

That does not mean that you should be eating potato chips and candy bars all day long, it just means that you should be eating smaller more frequent things that are actually doing good things for your body. Food is fuel. Just like a car needs gasoline to run, our bodies need food for fuel to keep our body running properly. This society includes food in every aspect of life it seems. Our plates and serving sizes are way bigger than they should ever be. We eat when we are bored. We eat when we are happy. We eat when we are sad. We just plain eat too much. It amazes me that we have so many food options so readily available too. I guess when it comes down to it, all we can control is ourselves. Know your body, and what it really needs to run properly, and eat accordingly.
