Diet for the Right Reason

Dieting is all the fad these days. Unfortunately, many women go on a diet for the wrong reason. Dieting should not be for the benefit of others. Diet because you want to look and feel good for yourself.

Being on a diet doesn’t mean skipping meals. In fact, it’s best to eat at least three well-balanced meals a day. Even if you're trying to lose weight, don't skip meals. You'll only
be hungrier for the next one, and cravings between meals
can become overwhelming.

Always eat a well-balanced breakfast. It doesn’t have to be a large meal. You can eat a piece of toast, fruit, a smoothie etc. Your body's metabolism rate slows down at night and does not speed up again until you eat something. If you wait until lunch to eat, that is four or more hours that your body is burning calories at a lower rate.
