Eat 5 meals a day

Eating requires roughly 70 calories per meal, so 
eating 5 meals a day, 3 meals and 2 snacks, will 
burn 350 calories per day! 

3500 calories = 1lb of fat

So every 10 days you could burn an extra 1lb of fat just for eating more regularly

What to cook with.

Olive oil is a great healthy fat to have in your diet, but a low smoke rate or tolerance to heat means that most cooking methods will denature it. 

Try it and see... heat some olive oil in a pan then pour it into a glass jar. Would you drink it?

Try coconut oil, much better for frying and roasting.
