Can I lose weight by skipping dinner

Many people do not eat at night in order to lose weight. In the short term, skipping dinner can indeed achieve the effect of weight loss, but in the long term, skipping dinner will often lead to weight rebound and even easily cause overeating, leading to weight gain. In addition, the most important thing about skipping dinner is that it is relatively harmful to the health of the body, often causing gastrointestinal problems and causing the body's immunity to decline.

Can skipping dinner help you lose weight?

1. Is dinner an unscientific existence?

Isn’t there a saying that goes like this: Going to bed hungry is a beautiful beginning. But you guessed the beginning but not the ending, because this beauty contains potential rebound, a perforated stomach, and a you who wants to eat more.

Many people also say that ancient people ate two meals a day, so dinner itself is an unscientific existence. But the ancients didn’t have electric lights. They went to bed at seven o’clock and fell asleep after having sex.

But what about you? Students are about to start their evening self-study at 7 o'clock, and most office workers are probably still on their way home from get off work at 7 o'clock. For modern people, there are at least 4 hours left in the day waiting for them to waste.

2. Why will you lose weight if you don’t eat dinner?

If you need to consume 1200 calories a day, the common choices are 400 calories for breakfast, 500 calories for lunch, and 300 calories for dinner. Then skipping dinner will save you 300 calories, so your daily intake is only 900 calories. The reason why skipping dinner will make you thinner is that you are on a diet.

Because the calories you eat are less than your basal metabolic rate, you are dieting. Even if you make up these 300 calories in breakfast and lunch, you should know that if the calorie intake in one meal is too high, the excess will still be converted into fat.

Therefore, the best way should be to replenish calories continuously with three meals a day.

3. The harm of skipping dinner

The idea that dieting can lead to rebound has gradually been accepted by some people after Benjiu has recommended it countless times. But many people are still tempted to try it because: "I will lose weight first, and then I can control myself and not gain back a lot of weight!"

1. Bulimia

Eating more than ten pieces of bread at a time, wanting to vomit when seeing sweets, eating even though feeling extremely guilty, and having no control at all, this is bulimia. For people with bulimia, their weight usually rebounds sharply, even becoming heavier than before they lost weight, and you can't stop it.

2. Menopause

If you experience amenorrhea after dieting, you will have to eat a high-carb, rich diet to induce your period, unless you want to be infertile for the rest of your life.

3. Easy to gain weight

Many people feel that after dieting, the worst that can happen is that they gain weight again, so it’s still worth a try. However, the reality is that not only will your weight gain back, but when you try to lose weight again, you will find that it is not that easy to lose weight whether you diet or exercise.
