The modern world has made skipping meals into a popular trend which we view as a form of self-control and a quick path to weight loss . We believe that reducing our food consumption leads to faster weight reduction. Our body functions in a different manner than what we believe. The body operates with superior intelligence which reacts negatively to deprivation practices.   
   
    
   
The body interprets sudden food reduction as a warning sign of food scarcity. The body activates its survival mechanism by reducing metabolic rate to conserve energy which directly opposes our weight loss goals. The human body uses this survival technique which helped our ancestors survive periods of famine. Our body will start storing more fat after the initial weight loss because it prepares for future periods of food scarcity.
     
   
The practice of skipping meals creates negative effects on both our emotional state and our ability to focus. The combination of skipped meals causes blood sugar levels to decrease while cortisol levels increase as the body releases stress hormones. The combination of fatigue and anxiety makes us reach for fast energy sources including sugary foods and caffeine. The end result leads to eating more food later while selecting unhealthy options which nullifies any perceived self-control.
   
   
Weight balance requires a regular eating pattern instead of food limitations. The human body functions best when it receives steady portions of easily digestible foods which supply energy without creating excessive strain. The combination of fiber-rich foods including lentil soups and vegetable khichdi and fruit smoothies and millet salads helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and delivers sustained energy.
   
    
   
The human body requires equal amounts of water for proper functioning. The body maintains its natural detoxification process and metabolic stability through adequate water consumption and coconut water and herbal infusion consumption. The key to successful eating involves choosing the right foods at the right times rather than reducing your food intake.
   
   
The following groups of people should never skip their meals:
   
   
   
Weight loss requires a dialogue between us and our body rather than a test of willpower. When we skip meals our body receives a signal that food is scarce which makes it store fat and reduces your metabolic rate. Our body will learn to trust us when we eat natural unprocessed unrefined foods which grow effortlessly in nature and our metabolism will achieve equilibrium while our weight will stabilize naturally.
