Myth or fact?
Answer: False.
Depriving yourself excessively has disadvantages that make the exercise counterproductive. First, depriving your body of food increases the risk of overeating at your next meal or of giving in to a craving. Also, when the body is subjected to food deprivation, its reflex is then to store reserves. The result is that, instead of losing weight, you may gain some. Eat until you are satisfied, have smaller portions and healthy snacks.
