Between 10 and 30 percent of the calories you burn each day get burned by the simple act of digesting your food. Satisfying your food cravings will actually make you burn away calories.

By eating six small meals a day with the foods recommended in this plan, you will increase your metabolism, lose fat and add lean muscle mass.
