On your usual three meals a day diet plan, skipping breakfast is a common one – “I don’t have time” is the usual response.
This is the worst possible mistake you can make.
If you aren’t eating at least 3 meals a day you are doing serious damage to your metabolism.
If you’ve eaten dinner the night before and you eat breakfast late or not at all, this means that by lunchtime you could have gone up to 20 hours without food.
This is the fastest way possible to send the message to your brain that you are starving.
You have lunch around midday. You have failed to plan an afternoon snack so by dinnertime you are absolutely starving and your stomach is roaring. Your body is screaming for instant accessible energy so you are craving high GI carbs and fat. You grab a cheese sandwich while you prepare dinner as fast as possible.
Later in the evening your body fears the worst so cravings for sweets begin. You have a couple of Tim-Tams and a Milo then go to bed.
This may not sound too bad, but a diet like this does nothing but convince your body to stockpile fat stores by slowing metabolism and burning muscle for fuel.
You are starving for most of the day which encourages binges, usually of the wrong foods. You stuff yourself to the brim when you do eat which causes spikes in your blood sugar levels followed by the inevitable crash, which in turn sparks cravings for more of the wrong foods.
Eating small, healthy portions frequently throughout the day sends the opposite message to your body that all is well and fat stores can be metabolised without fear of starving to death. Your metabolism increases and your body burns fat at its peak. Frequent eating will allow you to burn up to 50% more calories than before!
Skipping meals only serves to make you fatter.
It is vitally important that you get your meals in or all the work you have done to build your muscle will be wasted.
Do not skip a single meal.
The means to long term weight loss is to eat frequently and never skip meals, or your body will live in constant fear of starving and store every calorie of fat it possibly can.
This eating plan is low carbohydrate and fat while being high in protein, but it is not a low carbohydrate diet.
You can’t stay on a low carbohydrate eating plan for too long as your body needs to stay used to burning carbohydrates for fuel, otherwise it will get lazy. Your body won’t know what to do when you have a carbohydrate binge and it will end up being stored as fat. This diet is however low in SIMPLE carbohydrates, as should be your eating plan for life.
Simple carbs like sugar, cakes, biscuits, jam and chocolate and also other hidden carbs like white bread, white rice and processed foods should be avoided. High GI fruit such as watermelon, raisins or any other dried fruit are limited to breakfast and lunch so your body has enough time to work them off with exercise during the day.
