Gone are the
days when for many Africans, being voluminous in shape and weight was “a sign
of good living.” In the 21st Century, what was cherished as “a sign
of good living” has been thrown out with the emergence of globalization. Weight
loss has become priority for most people, especially the youth, and food has
become the victim of this growing trend. Not taking meals at all is perceived
to be the easiest and fastest way to lose weight for many who find themselves
in this circle.
The results
gathered by many researchers on the impact of food on weight loss have only
left evidence that choosing to skip meals with
the hope of saving calories, actually end up in gaining more weight. The bottom
line is, denying yourself food is not a healthy answer to weight loss. A
reasonable weight loss plan that includes making healthier eating choices,
exercising, and eating throughout the day should
rather be your focus when working to shed off some calories.
Metabolism, the process by which the body converts what you eat and
drink into energy, plays an integral part in the process of weight loss, and
food is essential for proper metabolism. How quickly a person loses weight and
burns fat depends on the rate of metabolism in the human body. Eating at regular intervals is
important to keep the metabolic rate up.
A proper and fast metabolism means more calories
burned. Each time you eat, enzymes in your body's cells break down the food and
turn it into energy that keeps your heart beating, your mind thinking, and your
body gets more active. The more you burn, the easier it is to drop pounds. Not
eating only makes you hungrier and you ate tempted to take in large quantity of
food. This only hinders faster metabolism.
The health
risks associated with skipping meals are not worth it, even if it does bring a
temporary weight loss. Instead of skipping meals, take smaller quantities of
quality food at regular interval. Adelle Davis has a nice way of describing the
best eating habit that will aid your weight loss plan “Eat breakfast like a
king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.”
