Skipping meals is a bad way to lose weight

By: Meg Dilts
  

Studies show that people who skip breakfast and eat fewer times during the day tend to be heavier than people who eat a healthy breakfast and eat four or five times a day. This may be because people who skip meals tend to feel hungrier later on, and eat more than they normally would. It may also be that eating many small meals throughout the day helps people control their appetites.

Tip:
Eat small meals throughout the day that include a variety of healthy, low-fat, low-calorie foods.
