Why Skipping Meals Can Make You Gain Weight

                                                 


The only way that you are going to lose weight and maintain, is if you eat three times a day with snacks in between. You need this to keep your body fueled. If you want to lose a pound a week, you need to lose over 3500 calories EXCLUDING all of your regular daily activities. So we tend to think that if we skip a meal, we won't gain as many calories but lose more calories. You absolutely cannot not eat if you are trying to lose weight, you have to do the opposite, eat a healthy, balanced diet. 

Here's what happens when you skip meals:

  • You get irregular cravings
  • You can suffer from hunger attacks, which means that you will make room for over eating
  • Dehydration
  • An unbalanced calorie intake, which means that when you do eat your next meal, your body will store more than the normal amount of fat
  • Low blood sugar gives your body less sugar, thereby starving your body of energy
  • It's also a cause of diabetes, leading in spikes in your glucose level with a slow or delayed insulin release

Just with these few reasons, you can see that it's very bad on your health and you should make sure that you eat three meals a day with healthy snacks in between to constantly fuel your body.

P.S. Shakeology is one way to ensure you don't skip a meal and that you get over 70+ all natural ingredients to help you lose weight and maintain a healthy diet.
