Also limit the number of times you eat each day. Research has found
that the liver is busy doing one of two things: secreting enzymes to
help break down the food you recently ate, or secreting enzymes to
break down your body fat. The more frequently you eat, the less time
your liver has to spend on breaking down body fat. If you can manage
it, the ideal is to consume your meals (limited to two if you can do
it) within an eight-hour window, leaving your liver sixteen hours to
work on body fat. Even if you don't cut back on calories, you will
still lose a modicum of weight since you're giving your liver more
time to deal with existing body fat.
