Are frequent and small meals an effective strategy for weight loss?Updated a month ago

One of the big tips for sticking to a diet and losing weight is to eat frequent, small meals. But every time you eat, you increase insulin.  In the presence of insulin, you can’t burn fat, and if you can’t burn fat, then you can’t lose weight. This can also cause insulin resistance, which can lead to a myriad of health concerns.  Eating less frequently, also known as intermittent fasting, is one of the best ways to lose weight and support your overall health.  To stay satisfied between meals without eating snacks, you need to feed the cells in your body fat (burn fat). But to burn fat, you have to lower your insulin levels by reducing carbohydrates and eating less frequently.  Once your body has adapted to burning fat, not only will you be able to lose weight, but you will also finally get rid of hunger and cravings for good.
