Staying without eating is fattening because the body, when fasting for a long time or spending more than 3 hours without eating constantly, tends to slow down the metabolism, thus spending less energy to compensate for reduced regular calorie intake.
In addition, it is difficult to control hunger when it appears and, in this way, on some occasions there is an intake of more calories than is necessary or usual and the body stores the energy of the food it consumed in the form of fat to prevent it in case of an upcoming fast.
Those who want to lose weight should follow a low-calorie diet, but should always eat every 3 hours, making about 5 to 6 meals a day, to keep the metabolism accelerated and thus achieve weight loss.
As long as you do not eat fat , weight loss diets based on consuming two or three meals a day in small amounts do not work. In addition, going too long without eating is detrimental to health and causes symptoms such as headaches, dizziness or blurred vision.
