Never Skip Meals...... Especially in Winter!

Never skip meals, especially in Winter, as your Body needs the regular food supply to maintain a well balanced metabolism and keep your weight even. Scientific studies and research has clearly shown, that people who eat at regular intervals, starting with a healthy breakfast in the morning, are better nourished, report fewer mood swings, think more clearly and are more consistently productive throughout their work day, than those who eat erratically

Research also indicates, that those people who regularly skip meals are more prone to weight problems, probably because once they do eat, they eat in excess and usually the wrong type of food, and that by the time they eat their metabolism is already at it’s lowest level.

If you tend to skip meals because you think you can save on calories, either wanting to maintain your current weight or because you want to shed some extra kilograms, start keeping a food diary or journal, and you will probably discover that you more than make up for those skipped meals at other times of the day, when you overeat or indulge in the wrong type of food.

Once meal skippers do eat, they find it very difficult to stop consuming more food than they usually would, as they are over there hunger threshold and eat far more than those who eat more frequently.

For those people who have successfully maintained a weight loss of more than 12 kg’s for at least a year, researchers monitoring their progress have discovered that the key to their success is eating meals at regular intervals throughout the day.

To successfully shed unwanted kilograms and then maintain your ideal weight, eat every three to four hours, regardless of what day of the week it is, including workdays, weekends and especially your holidays.
