Mistake Four
Skipping meals
While the crux of weight loss is about expending more calories than you consume, skipping meals will affect your metabolism (the rate at which your body burns calories), wreak havoc on your appetite and make you crave food with more calories at the next meal.
Have meals at fixed times as much as possible to keep your metabolism rate steady and stave off hunger. For breakfast, aim to get at least 300 calories from something substantial like a sandwich or cereal (Healthy Breakfast Recipes – Violet Karma). Can’t get your hands on something healthy? Even having a pastry is better than not eating at all.
