STAY HUNGRY STAY FOOLISH !

8 REASONS WHY ONE SHOULDN’T SKIP MEALS

Skipping meals as you slept through breakfast or worked through lunch. Or just to reduce a few kilos you consider skipping meals. But what about the consequences?

1) ZAPS YOUR ENERGY

For starters, missing just one meal causes your blood-sugar levels to dive. Sugar is the fuel your body runs on, and if it's not circulating in the correct volumes, each organ in the body is affected. Also, without a new supply of calories, your system moves into starvation mode to conserve energy. Your metabolism slows, so the food you do finally take in isn't burned off very efficiently.

2) PERFORMANCE BECOMES SLUGGISH

Meal skippers don’t perform as well. Their work accomplished is lesser, are physically less steady, and are slower at making decisions.

3) LIKELINESS OF OVEREATING

Ironic? But let me introduce you to the fast-now, binge-later effect: When you deny your body food, it only wants it more. (As skipping meals will put your body in starvation mode, hence to overcome which you will perpetually eat more)

 Keep your body happy and your hunger cues won't rebel!!

                                                                               5) MAY GET PRONE TO CERTAIN DISEASES

Our bodies need to be fed food regularly in order to maintain healthy levels of blood lipids such as cholesterol, hormones such as insulin, and normal blood pressure .As we sleep all night we are fasting, and so if we frequently do not 'break fast' in the morning, it puts a stress on our body that over time can lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and blood pressure issues.

6) TURNING TOWARDS JUNK INCREASES WITH MISSED MEALS

The body craves for crappier foods when it skips meals. Skipping a meal is likely to make you feel hungrier when it comes time to eat next, and this could cause you to eat more calories than you would have otherwise. Skipping breakfast, in particular, has been associated with obesity in several scientific studies, implying that missing a meal can make you so hungry you’ll consume double or triple a normal meal's calories when you eat next.

7) YOU MAY END UP ‘SKIPPING’ EXERCISE ALTOGETHER

Even if you push through your fatigue and hit the gym or trail, skipping a meal can leave you feeling terrible midway through your session. Usually called ‘Bonking’ .Combine the low blood sugar that follows a skipped meal with the mental and physical demands of work, parenting, and your other daily obligations, and you may find it nearly impossible to exercise after skipping a meal.

8) SUGAR CRAVINGS

Body looks for immediate requirement of sugar when your energy drops down as no fuelling was given as meal was skipped, hence you remember dessert which had good effect on your taste buds as well as which will boost your energy in no time and you are actually feeling good after taking it. But in long run this habit will turn to weight gain and inviting diseases. Dessert have fat as well as sugars in it, both are harmful, so think over before u grab dessert. Rather have small, frequent and balanced meals.

BOTTOM LINE: Not only does skipping a meal take a complete toll on your system but also it conspires against you leading to wild hunger pangs, sluggish metabolism, and many more things. So what would be the wise strategy to lose weight? Make sure you eat small regular meals,introduce your diet to complex carbs and lean protein and ofcourse,Hit the gym!
