Myth: A skipped meal here and there will help shed weight faster

Common sense seems to say that if consuming too much food put the extra weight on, then not consuming food will take the extra weight off. This is the biggest myth there is! It goes something like this…you finally get “fed up” (pardon the pun) with yourself, and decide to go on a diet that includes skipping meals. Well, yes, at first you loose a few pounds, but soon you get hungry. You finally start eating again only to discover that all the weight you lost came back in a hurry, plus a few more pounds. Now, more determined than ever, you really cut back. Before long, you find yourself starving and the vicious cycle looms ahead. This cycle, will slow your metabolism down to a snails pace and make you hungry all the time! In the process, you get fatter and fatter. The bottom line (again, pardon the pun), is that, you need to eat to shed the fat. The secret is in what to eat, when to eat it and in what quantity.
