Still, Gaining Weight After Skipping Meals? by modestatus: 1:15am On Sep 08, 2022 |
You ought to check this out... And you thought by skipping meals you had this weight issue all sorted, ehn? Mbanu! Ko le werk!! Skipping meals (or leaving long gaps between meals) is a major sin in dieting. It sends the wrong message to the fat stores that the starvation process is underway and should do everything to preserve it or burn it much more slowly. Suppose you skip breakfast and you haven't eaten since 8:00 p.m. last night. If you eat lunch at noon, you've gone 16 hours without food. At this point, you are not only in a highly catabolic (muscle wasting) state, but you're also sending that starvation signal to your body. Therefore skipping breakfast is a capital crime, yet everybody is doing it! Ignorance of the masses... Research shows that one of the most common errors in skipping breakfast or eating it late, around 10:00 a.m. or even later is people say: "I don't have time!" This is usually the excuse justifying this terrible mistake. See what happens because of this bad habit... Suppose you're in a hurry to get to work in the morning and you bolt out the door without eating breakfast. Your first meal of the day is lunch at noon. It's moderately sized, let's say 500 calories, consisting of a butter/sardine sandwich on wheat bread and a banana. Sounds fairly healthy so far. By dinner time of 6:00 p.m., hungry don dey waya himself. So you fight back and destroy a massive plate of Garri for a total of 800 calories. Later that night you're still hungry and craving something sweet. Some cookies and low-fat milk do the trick for about 300 calories. Then you go right to sleep. Although far from perfect, this menu doesn't sound like a total disaster to the average person. But IT IS! A major nightmare In the long run, this type of diet is a sure way to slow down your metabolism, lose muscle, and gain body fat. On the other hand, 2400 calories spread out into five or six small meals of 400 - 480 calories each (about 300-350 calories per meal for women), will INCREASE ENERGY, INCREASE MUSCLE GROWTH, and speed up your metabolism without STORING FAT. Frequent eating can allow you to consume up to 50% more calories without storing an ounce of it as fat! The above food illustration paints a picture of what goes on in the average life of most people. However, to get the desired result, you will need to eat in a particular pattern, and eat particular foods with some exercises to get the result you need. The Flat Belly Miracle product should help with the exact types of foods and exercise types that will get you results. A bonus.

Hello! I'll be talking more about weight loss. I hope that this will be a learning experience for you so why do you think people are concerned about their weight? I can give you a few reasons why this is so. ●some people have been abused because of their weight. ●some people have had health issues as a result of gaining so much weight ●women are concerned because of how they look. they're concerned because they don't feel sexy and attractive to the opposite sex and their spouses ●for men sometimes weight gain affects their performance in bed. ●some people have gained so much weight they know that is causing problems for relations and friends, who have to carry them around and take them to the hospital so they begin to get worried these are just a few, but from a medical perspective, you can see the challenges that fat ( I'm sorry, I don't like using the word fat, its labeling or tagging people, but prefer using the word OBESE) people go through as a result of their weight. so what causes weight gain? ●gaining weight can be genetic ●it can be a result of taking medications ●be as a result of a mental health problem ●It can still be in response to abuse ( which may be mental physical or emotional abuse) ●interestingly weight gain can be a result of growing old ●The poor habit id skipping meals so having seen these few points, I know you are eager to get to the meat of the matter which is how to lose weight effectively and keep it off permanently. I'll be honest with you there's no shortcut to keep weight off, because what it requires is a lot of commitment to start, and a ton of determination to do so. PS: it's a lifestyle change, requiring continuous deliberate effort every day every time meaning, it's going to require a complete overhauling of the diet, and eating habits as well as a lifestyle change there are already a lot of fitness gurus and weight loss experts in the social media space saying so many different things, approaches, and fancy diet plans. I'm just here to tell you the nitty gritty and the most important things to make sure not only about keeping the weight off, but more importantly, start, shedding those pounds. if there's no commitment to this process then there's no point in starting at all. that's why I said I'm here to make sure you start the process. It starts with that decision... to begin therefore I'd like to ask you a few questions requiring very short and simple answers do you want to lose weight? do you want to be healthy? are you going to do what it takes to lose weight? Long life and health are not only in what we eat and drink it also in our minds health is defined as physical emotional and mental ( even spiritual) well-being and not just the absence of disease There is an easy way to do this. If you're interested, let me know in the reply... |

For those who have taken time to look this over, I hope this will be of benefit to you even more... There's a balance to eating and our daily movement or activity, that determines whether we continue to get bigger or really start losing weight permanently. The problem then for most and the reason for a 1000 and 1 books and write up is because of the cost of one drug or food type, time or stress to prepare or even exercise. Not to mention, likely as a result of all the fasting and skipping meals, there's that sharp and painful chest pain which when it starts, is as if their enemy is going to die. If you've read through the other articles or books or even the above, to motivate yourself to get up to start is a headache in its own. I must confess though, that's where the journey starts o... If you mean to get there, all well and good. But it starts with the determination, your MINDSET. You can, only if you think so. I mentioned the issue between eating and keeping the weight off. That's actually between healthy eating habits and regular and appropriate exercise or exertion to keep all the calories (that's just the energy values of the meals) off... All that English, just means BALANCE. This is usually where most of the problem lies. You fast or skip meals in hope there's weight loss, but the meals eaten or snacks only end up maintaining or increasing the weight. Therefore, there needs to be a change in the diet, to a healthy one. That way the weight gain from eating is slower..., while the exercise continues to keep the weight off steadily. Lastly but not least, this is a journey not travelled alone. Friends and family should or encouraged to help, by reminding you, escorting you and encourage you should you trip up. (if that happens more than 2x, you've made it clear you're not ready then). Also seeing your doctor for follow up and regular check up remains imperative... If you think you need a word or two about how to move forward, Check my profile and send me an email... |
