Should I Stop Eating to Lose Weight?

by Kai Lo

I looked around the internet and saw a lot of people ask this question, "Should I stop eating to lose weight?" Why do people think that if they stop eating, then that would help to lose weight? That is far from the truth.

The simple answer to that question is no.

When you starve yourself to death, your metabolism will stop. When your metabolism stops, you will not burn any calories at all. When you don't burn any calories, then you will not lose any weight. Your body is trying to hold on to as much fat as possible to save you from dying. It wants to use the fat for energy to fuel your body so it can continue to function.

What should you do then? You should always start your morning off with a healthy breakfast. I start my day off with oatmeal and fat-free milk. This will give your metabolism a boost early in the day to start burning calories.

Throughout the day, you must eat about every 2-3 hours. They do not have to be huge meals. It could be as simple as finding a fruit to eat. Just don't starve yourself or else your metabolism will stop. While eating every 2-3 hours might not always work, always try to aim for a quick healthy snack if possible.

The fastest way to lose weight is to speed up your metabolism as fast as possible. Eat healthy, exercise, and get enough rest. There is no quick fix to healthy and natural way to lose weight other than to do it slowly.
