No, that title is not a typo. One of the things that makes people not get the weight loss results that they want is that they may occassionally be starving their bodies. ×Ö´®1 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. ×Ö´®2 Another is when you purpose deprive your body of food to try and "speed up" your results. ×Ö´®2 Regardless of how it happens, either scenario in this case is equally damaging. Although you will decrease the calories that you take in which may lead to some short-term weight loss, the kicker here is that you will be slowing down your metabolism. ×Ö´®2 What this means is that after the starving is over, your body will hold onto the next meal you eat for dear life, expecting be be starved again. ×Ö´®1 If you allow starvation to become a habit, you will actually be contributing to your own weight gain in the future. ×Ö´®7 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 that you'll need to lose the kind of weight that you've committed to. ×Ö´®1
