You eat one big lunch and early light dinner.
You skip breakfast.
You want to lose weight.
You don’t eat breakfast?
You don’t feed your body for 18 hours…?
You thought you should eat less to lose weight.
In theory, if input < exertion, then weight loss, null; but it’s not linear.
Starving the body forces it into starvation mode. Metabolism slows down. Body is always hungry. Mind can’t think straight. Heart is upset with lack of joy from infrequent food intake.
You’re set up to fail.
How do you fix it?
Get back to basics.
Processed food is not your friend (pizza pocket, pop tart, breakfast cereal, l’eggo muffins, ready-mix pancakes, granola bars, hash browns, cereal bars…etc…)
Meaning, you have to plan, shop, prepare, package and dedicate time (you can’t skip a meal!) to eat your own food.
No one said this was going to be easy.
Eat breakfast.
Have snacks in between if hungry.
Drink water.
Have lunch and dinner.
Snack on fruits, veggies, nuts and whatever is in its ‘natural state’.
Work out at least twice a week.
And no, you don’t deserve that piece of chocolate cake.
Like all good things in life, plan ahead and do it. Keep your promise.
They call this discipline.
