Skipping meals
If the solution to losing weight is cutting calories then why not cut a bunch at once by skipping a meal? Many studies show that meal skippers weigh more than healthy meal eaters. Starving yourself actually does the opposite of what you are trying to achieve on a diet. Depriving your body of calories slows down your metabolism and in turn, you body tries to conserve energy by slowing down the burning of calories. Leading to ravenous hunger and over-eating at night. Instead, stick to small meals six times a day or three proper balanced diet meals including a healthy breakfast.
