One of the things that make people not get the weight loss results they want is that they may occasionally be starving their bodies.
There are two basic ways that this can happen. One is for it to be done inadvertently—like when you just get busy and forget to eat.
Another is when you purpose deprive your body of food to try and “speed up” your results.
Regardless of how it happens, either scenario, in this case, is equally damaging. Although you will decrease the calories you take, which may lead to some short-term weight loss, the kicker here is that you will be slowing down your metabolism.
What this means is that after the starving is over, your body will hold onto the next meal you eat for dear life, expecting to be starved again.
If you allow starvation to become a habit, you will actually be contributing to your own weight gain in the future.
Therefore, make sure that you are keeping your meals no more than 4 hours apart. As long as you do this, you will be supporting the healthy metabolism you’ll need to lose the kind of weight you’ve committed to.
