Small Meals for Weight Loss | Eat little and often for Weight Loss Permanent fat loss is all about obtaining and maintaining a fast metabolism. There is a very simple way you can condition your body to burn more calories, even at rest. This is one of the most effective steps you can take in your weight loss efforts. Make it a habit and you will succeed with your weight loss. Do not save up calories for one big meal. By eating at the correct times you minimize the risk of triggering your body’s “starvation protection mechanism“, which protects fat supplies. Smaller, more frequent meals not only boost your fat-burning ability but has other numerous benefits. Your body is genetically programmed to conserve energy when food intake stops. It is very difficult to lose weight when your metabolism is slowing down and your body trying to hang on to every calorie. Research by the University of Toronto suggests that switching to several smaller meals reduced participants’ total cholesterol levels by approximately 8% and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels by 12%.

tristan pigott makes oil paintings for the instagram generation You can immediately relate to the subjects of Tristan Pigott's paintings. His portraits have a snapshot-ish quality, like scenes you might see on Instagram - of friends sitting on the underground, putting on make-up still half-dressed, or eating breakfast and looking slightly worse for wear. He captures awkward in-between moments that feel both everyday and surreal. In Big Softie, one of the brand-new pieces he's showing at a solo exhibition at London's Cob Gallery this week, a guy sits waiting for his spaghetti to cook with his hand in his boxers. The painting's one-dimensional ocher background seems to shift the sitter out of his kitchen and into a dreamworld. Tristan's MO -- honed at Camberwell College of Arts in London -- is to playfully undermine the self-importance we assume in documenting ourselves and each other. But while he pokes fun at the stuffier tropes of figurative painting, Tristan has also shown his work at two of the UK's most historic galleries this year. Credits
