Food Is Not the Problem... Food Is the Solution

Eating to Lose Weight & Bodyfat

While it seems harmless — and possibly even beneficial to weight loss — to skip a meal or a snack from time to time, this common scenario may actually be setting your body up to gain weight.

How is it possible to gain weight by NOT eating?

The first goal of the Ultra Fit Program is to eliminate cravings. Skipping meals and snacks causes exaggerated swings in blood sugar, which may encourage these cravings to return. This may cause you to splurge on unhealthy foods, thus reversing your weight-loss progress.

Skipping too many meals can prompt your body to go into starvation mode. In order to conserve energy and resources, your metabolism will start to slow down, ultimately causing your weight loss to stall. You will also lose muscle and not recover from your strength training workouts if you are not fueling your body with quality meals. This loss in muscle will also slow down your metabolic rate and stall all progress.

So what should you do if you're just not hungry?

Don't fall into the common trap of mistaking your diminished cravings for diminished hunger. If you're following the Ultra Fit eating plan correctly — eating regular meals throughout the day — you will begin to get hungrier but you won't feel as ravenous as you did in the past as long as you are eating all of your meals on time. By eating regular Ultra Fit meals daily, you will increase your lean muscle, increase your metabolic rate and look and feel better than ever!
