How skipping meals can make you fat!

 

 

Don't skip meals!


Do you find yourself skipping breakfast and lunch and then rushing home to gorge on a buffet style supper. If so, you may have begun to notice that you're packing on the pounds quicker than you can exercise them off.


The ever so popular "Skipping meals as a way of losing weight" is just another form of the Starvation diets and never the answer to permanant weight loss. Most times, you'll just fast until you can't stop yourself from eating, and then binge on foods that make you gain weight.
Skipping meals can also cause your body to crave foods.

These cravings are simply a cry for help from a body that believes that it may starve at any moment.

Going without food for extended periods of time can slow your metabolism so that your weight balloons back up once you begin eating regular sized meals, again.


There are easier and more effective ways to cut calories.

Try not to skip meals. Instead aim for 4-6 smaller healthier meals daily that combine a good combination of fruits, legumes, vegetables and protein. 

This multi meal approach will help to keep your blood sugar stable so that you don't crave donuts, pizza and other high fat, carb rich foods.


For instance, you might start the day with an egg omelet (protein) and two pieces of fruit.  Or, bowl of high fiber cereal with handful of berries or banana and low fat milk.


Ten am: Yogurt with added berries. 


Lunch: Turkey or broiled chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread or pita, and added sliced tomato and light dressing.


Four pm: Home made vegetable soup


Dinner: Healthy salad or steamed vegetables and broiled fish or chicken breast (3-4 oz, cooked)


 

Don't wait until you just can't stand yourself before allowing yourself life sustaining foods or you may find that you just can't control what goes into your mouth!


Make it your goal to eat a small nutritious, balanced meal every two to three hours, with a fruit snack in between.


Not only will it help balance out your blood sugar level, you'll find that you have more energy and are less sluggish than after those mammoth once a day, catch all "supper type meals".
