See, I Stopped Skipping Meal but Now I am Gaining More Weight! Tsk!

No, don't go back to skipping meals. Skipping meals is the worst for loosing weight. You gain your weight back faster. When you skip meals, your body in the state of hunger, it is actually preserving the fat. Metabolism shut down. So no skip meals. Eat frequently, but has to be smaller portion: 3 times + 2 snack times. You will not gain weight if you eat the right thing. Balanced diet, protein, fiber, carb. Fruits and vegetables will not make you gain fat. If you eat frequent, but sugary, chips, junk snacks, then yes you are going to gain weight. So eat healthy, drink a lot of water. Choose your snack wisely, watch out the portion. Look at labels, contents before you eat it. Things that you need to look from the food label: fat, calorie, sugar, sodium. Those are the watch out list. Hope this helps!

I never skip meals because I love eating. It's one of my favorite things to do. I'm never too lazy to eat. I think your problem is not because you ate more often. It's because you are not eating the right kind of food. I've read about celebrity diets like Nicole Richie (correct spelling?) in which she ate more protein and exercised more. So she's not getting fat but getting leaner because she's growing muscles. If you are not into exercises you should eat more fruits and vegetables, they are healthy, good for your skin and your stomach is filled but it can not make you over weight. Lessen the carbs, don't remove them from your diet. And eat on time, like before 6pm for dinner and sleep early.

You don't have to eat a full meal, my friend. Just eat lightly or fruits only.

hey girl,i am also trying to lose my weight now. and just a few days ago, i ate apples only in a day. but when the day was over, i was almost faint. skipping meals is what i have done too. but it's hard to control your food desire. i think drinking more water before your meal may do help to lose weight, it helps you to eat less than usual. and do more excises is a good way to lose weight and keep fit. you can do it .

hello friend, Eat ,don't skip, but eat in small quantities, that's what is preferable. Then take lots of water and also fruits.

"Have you also been in this situation?" No, I have not! But if you eat 5-6 smaller meals a day, same amount of food, you will lose weight. There are foods that boost your metabolism. The theory here is that if you eat more often, of these foods, your metabolism is boosted more frequently, thus burning more calories.

I think it is not good to skip meals and to eat regularly. Eat a health diet and do some exercise like walking. Avoid snacks and bakery food. Try to eat more green vegetables and fruits and this will help to reduce weight.

Gracia, i always think that by skipping our meals is not a good solution to reduce our weight. I always prefer to drink more plain water and eating less fat and calories food. I think by steadily reducing our weight is much healthier. Why not you go shopping for some healthy snacks which you can bring along with you to your working place. You can always eat them right after you had finished your singing. Hope my suggestion can helps you...

Hello gracia, It's always not easy to skip meals. but i think skipping meals won't do any good specially at the times were you need food to think a lot.you can lessen the number of food that you eat little by little. And don't forget to drink water most of the time because it keeps you regulated and the digestion would be good.

I think your weight gain has something to do with less daily activity. It means that you are consuming more calories that you are able to take it off. So maybe trying just to lessen the food intake, and not skipping a meal can make you go back to you usual weight. And of course, do some exercise.

What I read before is that, if one tries to slim down by skipping meals for some time. When this person wants to eat normal again in the future, he or she would gain weight easier than once used to be. That is because our body would change the amount of digestive acid according to the amount of food we take in everyday. So it is possible that your body produce less acid and less able to digest food now. Anyway, you should continue to eat normally while try to increase doing exercises to help you slim down.

Dont skip meal. But just manage to burn more energy than you consume. Just drink enough water. Take some fruits everyday. Avoid junk food. Have enough labor or exercise. Everything will be ok.

Sometimes that because of what you are eating, not the amount you are taking in. Drink more water and walk some might help. Have a super dupper week there.

lots of people don't want to gain weight,well skipping meal is not an option..try to have an simple and easy diet..like morning a piece of toss with egg or ect,lunch a few salad or fruits and dinner a cup of rice with chicken ect what you want to eat.after six is the best way too.and have an exersize from now on that makes you more sexy! enjoy
