If you don’t eat enough, you could gain weight!

Michelle, your Nutrition & Fabulous Body Coach
November 13, 2009

Did you read that right?

Yes you did! If you don’t eat enough each day, then you could end up weighing more in the long run!

Let’s face it. Losing weight is hard! It takes effort and commitment and if you live a busy life like I do, then finding the time to get out there and exercise is easier said than done.

What many of us do is skip meals as a way to make up for times when we over indulge, or to make up for the fact that we didn’t work out this morning.

But guess what? When we do that, we’re making ourselves fatter!

What happens when you skip a meal is that your metabolism slows down, because your body needs to slow down the rate in which it burns food, because you’re in effect starving your body.

When you next eat however, your metabolism is still slowed, so what happens then?

Because your body can’t burn all that you just ate, it stores the rest as fat – for just in case it gets starved again!

So here’s what you must do:

  1. Eat breakfast every day
  2. Eat whole, fresh foods
  3. Eat at least every 3 1/2 to 4 hours

Start doing this for a week, and begin to notice the difference!
