Have you a busy schedule which leads you to your meal
skipping? Or skipping a meal to quickly lose weight? Unfortunately, there are
many serious side effects of skipping meals than any probable benefit.
Here’s a look at some of the serious side effects of
skipping a meal:
- Weight Gain Instead of Weight Loss
Weight gain is the major unexpected consequence of skipping meals
instead of any reduction in weight. While you skip a meal, your metabolism has
no work to break down any food inside your body. Hence it slows down. And on the
next day, it is easier for you to overeat due to hunger. The calorie intake
amount increases at a slow metabolism rate to back up the body to its original
level, which results in a serious weight gain that is difficult or even
impossible to lose.
- Diabetes
Eating a large meal after skipping meal causes changes to
the metabolic system. There is also a delay in insulin release over a long time
period after eating which results in diabetes.
- Ketosis
The other consequence of skipping meal includes Ketosis
which starts when you consistently skip meals and do not intake enough food for
the body to manage. It gives birth to numerous problems like fatigue, nausea,
low blood pressure, etc. A pregnant woman skipping meal causes potential harm
to her unborn baby.
- Hunger
After skipping meals, your body starts making you long for
foods of various types such as a candy bar, doughnut or similar high calorie
and high sugar snacks. These high calorie foods have little nutritional value
and your body leads to more cravings which further leads to many serious health
problems such as weight gain etc.
- Brain Function
If you eat regularly, you get better mental acuity, better
learning power, good memory, improved work performance, more stamina &
strength. Skipping meals leads to brain fuel drain.
