Not eating a balanced diet, six times a day
You’ve heard this time and time again, but it works—eating a balanced diet based on the recommended food groups is the only way to not get fat. Dr. Richard Klein, a family doctor at Toronto’s Briar Hill Medical Centre, says to stick to foods that are low in fat and sugar and high in complex carbohydrates. Legumes,beans and whole-grain breads are a good place to start. You'll also want to eat a lot of fruit, vegetables and lean proteins, such as grilled chicken breast.
Guys should also eat lightly, six times a day instead of three hearty meals. Jay Tabac, a Toronto-based personal trainer and owner ofCommit Fitness Inc. explains that eating about 2,000 calories a day in 350 calorie portions is better than 650 calorie portions. It takes energy to eat, so if your metabolic rate is even throughout the day, you’ll absorb more nutrients. “Eating more is like keeping a furnace going in your body all day,” he says.
