The micro meal method is an effective way to improve body composition, while maintaining blood sugar and insulin levels.
The old adage of "eat a little, a lot", comes into play here as this method requires you to eat multiple small meals, every 1-2 hours for about 72 hours or 3 days.
Each meal should contain a protein, fat, and carb. These multiple small meals allow you to decrease fat levels while maintaining or even increasing lean body mass levels, depending on the total calories consumed each day and the macro nutrient ratio.
I have personally been using this method for decades, and have had great success with my clients who have tried this method. Give it a try and see if it works for you.
