Don’t skip meals. Eating a healthy breakfast
increases your rest metabolic rate earlier in the day, keeps your energy
levels high, and may help you resist the urge of high-calorie snacks
throughout the day. Plan to eat a snack or meal every 2 to 4 hours to
keep your metabolism active. Eating regularly also keeps your blood
sugar stable and reduces unhealthy calorie binges or deviations from
your meal plan.
