Skipping Meals to Lose Weight |
Lynn McKinnie 11/20/2010 |
I hear people every day talking about skipping meals because they were too busy or they weren't hungry. They believe that eating less calories will help them lose weight. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. When you skip meals, the body begins to think that you are starving, so it decides to slow the metabolism down. Then you often end up eating too much for your next meal. It can trick your body into actually gaining weight, so you are better to eat several small meals rather than to skip meals and eat one or two bigger meals a day. Think of your body as a wood burning stove. In order to keep the fire lit you must keep adding wood to the flame. The flame is your energy and metabolism. You must keep 'fueling your fire' by eating healthy meals and snacks throughout the day. |
