Did you experice to skip meals?

I experience to skip meal then it came that i became very hungry because when i eat my dinner its almost 8:00 0'clock that's why i eat plenty of food . I also experience that my stomach is aching , but its just a little .

Yes, i have experienced it. Before i don't eat breakfast until one day i suffered from stomach ache and it was really painful and the doctor told me it gastritis, he told me to eat on time and eat regularly, i just ignored what the doctor advised me then it happened again, then this time the doctor advised me to undergo endoscopy and the result was my stomach had a small hole in my intestine had to drinks a lot of medicine and that if i continue to skip meals and if within 3 months the hole will not respond to the medicine i will have to undergo surgery. Now i eat on time and if possible i don't skip meals. So skipping meals is really not good to our health.

When I was in my College days, when I have a 7 am class schedule, I used to skip my breakfast because I need to rush going to school. By then, I have to take my breakfast after my 7 am class which is after an hour or two. Then, i have a wrong perception on losing weight by not eating. That was a myth/ After skipping meals, I have the tendency to eat plenty when I am hungry. That was an abnormal eating disorder. That caused me to establish gastritis. Since, then, I needed to take complete meals.

No, I haven't done that before. Actually, I don't like the feeling of hungry, so each time I'm a little bit hungry, I would like to have meals. Sometimes I don't have meals on time, then I'm not that energetic and cannot focus on my work... That's pretty bad for me.

i skip meals on a daily basis,i only eat when i'm hungry,so i have breakfast then eat nothing until about 9pm and then i only normally have a sandwich,i can't eat a proper meal without feeling ill,i know it's not good for me but i'm just not hungry enough to eat any more than that

Skipping meals is bad for your health for a lot of reasons but one of the main reasons is because of the way it affects your metabolism. A lot of people think they will lose weight by skipping meals but doing that lowers the metabolism. The body needs fuel (food) regularly to make all of the systems work properly. Without the fuel, the organs cannot function correctly. Eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day will keep your metabolism up and your organs can do the jobs they're meant to do. Eating just one meal actually overloads your body, giving the organs more to do than they can handle. A light breakfast, even if it's just coffee and toast, will jump start the metabolism and get the organs working. Light snacks are good at keeping everything at an even level through the day. It's easier to lose fat by building a bit of muscle and the muscles turn to mush if they're not fed.

Hi careguarden~ You are right that skipping meals is not good for you and not recommended. But, I don't eat breakfast (am not up that early) and very rarely eat lunch unless I'm out and about! I also eat dinner at a very late hour! I do everything wrong and backwards and I know I shouldn't, but I have gotten myself into some very bad habits since I haven't been working~

Yes, I remember a time in my life when I refused to eat lunch at school. That was a terrible mistake, and I suffer the consequences today. For two or three years, I starved myself, and when I came home every afternoon, I stuffed myself. This was a bad practice for the stomach, and gave me problems that I am trying to correct now.

No, I never did that. I try not to skip meals on purpose since I figure it can't be good for you. I always assumed you would just eat the same amount in the end anyway, since it is very easy to eat more when you are hungry. So if you are serious about your diet and want to see results, you should stop skipping meals. Try to eat a more balanced diet instead!

For two months, I skipped breakfast, and take lunch at 2PM. I experienced nausea and headache after that :(
