Why Skipping Meals is a Sin
Skipping meals to induce lesser calorie intake does not do you any good. All it does it slow down your metabolism, cause muscle loss and triggers the body’s starvation responses. Especially if you skip breakfast!
Skipping breakfast and making up for it during the day and then going to bed encourages your body to store fat because you are training your body to go without fuel for more than 12 hours. This invariably causes muscle loss and metabolic slow down!

Use the following strategies to permanently lose fat and weight without starving yourself.
1. Change your Eating Habits
To lose fat permanently and going on quick-fix diets, change your eating habits instead. Dieting is a defective method because it is temporary. Having this type of attitude sets you up for failure even before you begin your diet. You do not lose fat permanent by restricting your calorie intake. You can only achieve permanent fat loss by adopting new exercise and nutrition habits for the rest of your life.
2. Build up and Tone your Muscles

Studies have shown that one in three Americans is overweight. This is about 35.70% or 97 million people in the entire United States.
Another report reveals that there are 3.8 million people who weigh above 300 pounds and 400,000 more above 400. The figures mentioned are real and unless some drastic measures are taken, the number of those prone to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease will increase.
Overeating happens when the individual consumes too much food and is unable to burn it out. It may be normal for an athlete in training to take in 3000 kilocalories a day but is too much for someone else who is not engaged in a lot of physical activity.

Everyone experiences stress. This can be a student that is overwhelmed with too much homework or having an information overload to an employee who is rushing to meet certain deadlines.
When the person is in this situation, the body goes into the defensive mode. It only has two choices which is to fight or flee. This in turn will give the individual a burst of energy, a shift in the metabolism or blood flow that is associated to weight gain.
How could this happen? The answer goes to a natural steroid hormone called Cortisol that is produced in the adrenal gland cortex that is connected to many different functions of the body.

Studies show that 15% of people who are overweight are teens. This is because parents do not give the right nutrients such as fruits and vegetables and substitute this with junk food such as pizza and hamburgers.
If nothing is done about this, around 70% of the teens now will remain obese until adulthood. This will then make the person prone to diabetes or heart disease, which will get ugly if the condition worsens.
