bite2breakskin answered Wednesday April 28 2004, 8:39 pm: awww hunny, cheer up! first off, you need to couple your good eating habits with some exercise. Even if its just dancing around your room for an hour =). Also, most diet experts say to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. And remember, just be comfortable with whats on the inside and it will shine through to the outside. [ bite2breakskin's advice column | Ask bite2breakskin A Question ]

But after a few days, your body's metabolism adjusts to your new caloric intake and operates on how much you are putting into your system. This means that if you only eat one meal a day that is 700 calories, your body start shutting down on itself because it needs about 2000 calories a day to function properly.
Also, if you only eat one meal a day, your metabolism slows RIGHT down. Everything you eat after this will automatically transferred into fat anyway.
Recent studies have shown that eating 6 smaller meals throughout the day is actually better for you and your metabolism than just eating 3 larger meals (breakfast, lunch, supper). By eating 6 smaller meals, it keeps you feeling fuller longer, and it keeps your blood sugar up all day so you don't feel sluggish and cranky.

Eating healthy is a good start, but that just helps you stop gaining weight, not loose it. You need to excersise and burn those fat calories to loose weight. Just 10 or 20 mins everyday can make a big difference. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
