　　4. Eat small and frequent meals

　　Ah, this is something you may have read somewhere and we're reiterating³ it here. Now if only you can eat calories to lose weight, the world would've been a better place. But you cannot so sit still. This is quite effortless because you're not practically starving yourself to death, rather, you are controlling the food servings. We are saying no to starvation, here, okay? You get to eat, yet you're losing weight in the process by limiting your food intake⁴. Win-win situation, right? Skipping meals would only result to overcompensation in the next meal so it's not very nice. Eat whenever you feel like it, but remember, only small servings of non-fattening food. Sounds like a plan?
