subject: Super Skipping Meals Alternative [print this page] Skipping meals.It can cause amazing weight loss.And the results happen so fast. I know that in just seven days I've lost ten pounds by skipping meals. It was easy. It's only common sense that if you "starve" yourself, in most cases you'll shed some weight.But is it the best way to slim down.That's the surprising thing.It's true that some people eat way too much. And for them limiting the calorie consumption is a must. But it can be a little "tricky".What I mean is that there is a fine line between eating too much and not getting enough.If you eliminate too much food from your diet then you tend to increase the difficulty of losing weight. Your body experiences a bit of a shock. It begins to go into "survival" mode. Basically you begin to store more of the food you eat in order to compensate for lack.That's why it is tricky.You really got to be careful or you can make losing weight miserable.A much better way than skipping meals is simply to limit portion size.Optimally you should be eating six times throughout the day. Most people only eat three to four times. So when they skip meals it takes them down to about two. Nothing will destroy your metabolism faster than eating only twice per day!That's why limiting portion size is a much better technique. I even recommend that if you're eating just three meals per day you up it to six.Just make your meals smaller.In most cases this "snacking" throughout the day will have a dramatic effect on your weight.Once again, only limit your calorie consumption if you're positive you are eating too much.The funny thing is that most people are NOT overweight because they eat too much. They could actually be eating more food. From what I've seen, most people simply eat the wrong foods at the wrong times.They foolishly begin cutting out meals and get themselves into a whole world of trouble.These are typically the dieters out there.The people who are in a constant, never-ending cycle of losing weight only to gain it all back.Chances are that this is you.Once again, most people are not fat because they eat too much. They simple eat the wrong foods at the wrong times.So lets say your up in the air. You don't know if you're eating too much. The best place to begin is to spread your meals out. Make sure your eating six meals per day and not skipping meals.I'd try that for a week.Just eat small meals six times per day. Don't worry about counting calories or anything like that.You'll probably find that you lose a few pounds.This is so simple. Most people are not consistent though. They get busy and find that they are skipping meals again. So it takes consistency.From there, if you are still not losing weight, I'd begin to consume smaller portion size.Still keep eating six times though.Just eat smaller portion size for these meals.
