What Happens To Your Body When you Skip Meals?

Not giving your body the fuel it needs aka GLUCOSE makes your body week. When you don't eat food when you're hungry, your blood sugar decreases and causes interference in your ability to think straight and also perform other tasks with your brain. Glucose is your brain's fuel and only when your body has enough glucose can your brain run efficiently and in turn help your body function at 100 percent. Low blood sugar can make you feel irritable, fatigued, weak and confused, moreover, the body begins to increase the level of cortisol- the stress hormone- making you feel angry and tensed for no reason. This phenomenon will also throw your metabolism for a toss and a slow metabolism aka fat burning rate will make your weight loss almost impossible. All this will make your body go on survival mode, which means your body will think that there is a scarcity of food which will cause your cells and body to crave food and also protect your fats. Bad cravings will make you choose unhealthier options.

Why You Shouldn't Starve Yourself To Lose Weight!
