Eat More Diet (Biggest Loser)

 

The “Eat More Diet” is the diet plan outlined for the Blue team on The Biggest Loser. “I believe you must eat to lose weight,” says Bob. The logic behind this plan is that if you eat smaller portions and more meals throughout the day, your body will not go into starvation mode and rather than hold on to fat, it will burn it more efficiently in response to exercise. This works to effectively boost metabolism!

You’re supposed to consume 4-6 planned meals per day that are low fat and low carb.  Eating more will ensure that your body has energy throughout the day to more effectively use as fuel for working out.
