Skipping Meals Can Help To Lose Weight ?

Many people think that by skipping a meal, they eat less food and therefore lose weight. This is one of the biggest weight loss myth.

People who think skipping meals means weight loss fail to recognize that our bodies do not operate this way. If we skip a meal, our body will think that we are in starvation mode and therefore slow down the metabolism to compensate and making you physically and mentally sluggish. Thus, we tend to overeat at the next meal and results in an increase in total caloric intake than if we just ate more frequently throughout the day. A better approach is to eat smaller frequent healthy meals and snacks to keep our blood sugar balanced..



So if you carry on to starve yourself, prepare to gain some weight!
