Fitness Mis-conception #1

If I only eat one meal a day, I will lose weight...

Sure your scale my read a lower weight in pounds but the reality is you could be losing muscle mass and retaining your fatty mass. When your body doesn't have food to maintain your energy and daily functions, it will look for resources such as your muscles, essential fatty acids and water. Additionally, your metabolism starts to slow down in order to keep your body functioning.

It is better to eat smaller meals throughout the day and boast you metabolism by exercising. It keeps you metabolism up in order to burn the calorie intake through out the day.
