Synopsis: Doctors at Ace Medical Weight Loss Center explain why not eating or skipping meals when trying to lose weight will make you gain weight. Every week we see a patient trying to lose weight by skipping breakfast and sometimes even lunch eating only once a day. But instead of losing weight they are gaining the weight. It sounds logical that if you eat less often you will lose weight. But that is far from the truth. That is not how our body metabolism works.

Fad diets that promise weight loss by not eating or eating little or skipping meals are abundant. Choosing the correct weight loss method is important. Many people choose to instead skip meals or not eat to lose weight. Dr. Grewal and Dr. Nwe of Ace Medical Weight Loss Center warn of the dangers of skipping meals. "Every week we see a patient trying to lose weight by skipping breakfast and sometimes even lunch eating only once a day. But instead of losing weight they are gaining the weight. It sounds logical that if you eat less often you will lose weight. But that is far from the truth. That is not how our body metabolism works." emphasizes Dr. Nwe, who is a renowned weight loss expert. It is very important to eat regularly when trying to lose weight. Dr. Nwe and Dr. Grewal explain why it is important to NOT skip meals during the weight loss process. It is for the following four reasons: Digesting the food is a major calorie burner. Not eating regularly lowers the body's metabolic rate decreasing calorie consumption. Not eating kicks our body into 'starvation mode' pushing our body to conserve food and store it as fat. Not eating increases stress on the body. Stress releases steroid hormones to counter this threat and one side effect of steroids is weight gain. Skipping meals increases craving for junk food and processed food. And these are the foods notorious for packing on pounds. So most of those who skip meals tend to choose worse alternatives i.e. processed foods when they decide to eat. "It is important to eat five times a day while trying to lose weight," says Dr. Myo Nwe, a board certified obesity Medicine physician and inventor of the SlimPlate System "It keeps the metabolism in fat burning mode."
