Do not skip meals to loose weight

November 8, 2008 by Audado 

Many people need to lose some weight, that’s a fact. Look around where people gather, you’ll notice the fat. Look in the mirror, unfortunately you’ll likely see it there too. If your goal is fast weight loss, keep a few simple things in mind to lose the pounds quickly and safely.

Skipping meals is one of the first things people often try when they want to lose weight. Hey, if eating fewer calories is the goal then why not skip breakfast or lunch. Doesn’t weight loss come with eating less calories? That’s correct but skipping meals isn’t the right way to reduce calories. When you skip meals your body goes into starvation mode. It starts to retain fat to counteract what it perceives as being starved. Another problem with skipping meals is that when you finally eat you’ll be a lot more hungry. This could lead to binge eating. Skipping a meal plus binge eating, then, will likely result in eating more calories and the body gaining even more weight from those calories than normally. It’s the worst of both worlds. Don’t do it.

Know how much to eat. It’s called portion control and it’s as important as eating the right foods. Too much of even a healthy food still results in weight gain. Portion control isn’t easy when large portions are so common. Restaurants and even most people in home cooking serve portions far larger than needed. Sources such as the FDA list recommended daily allowances. And remember portion size when you eat at restaurants, especially fast food restaurants. Don’t eat the full portion served at the restaurant, or order less than a full meal, such as soup and a salad.

Eat more whole grain foods, skip the white grains such as white bread, sugar and white rice. Whole grains are lower in fat and higher in nutrients. The fiber in whole grains will make you feel fuller faster and longer. Finally, whole grains add nutrients that many people lack in their diet.

Consume more water. Replace juice and soda with water since that juice and soda adds 90,000 calories to an average person’s diet every year. Drink it between meals too. In fact, the goal is 8 glasses of water each day. It’s easily possible. Drinking water also promotes health in general by keeping you well hydrated and cool.

Eat healthy snacks between meals. The body needs food every three to four hours to maintain proper blood sugar. Eating healthy snacks, such as fruits, helps control eating at meal times.

With some knowledge and planning, fast weight loss is easily possible. Keep these things in mind and pretty soon you’ll see a slimmer you when you look into a mirror.
