London [U.K.], Nov 21 (ANI): If you are trying to shed those extra kilos, then you may start eating six small meals daily to lose up to 3 kg in seven days, suggests a diet expert.

Researcher Terri-Ann Nunns, Founder of the TerriAnn123 Diet Plan, believes eating six times a day is the key to healthy weight loss.
