When people want to lose weight, they often skip meals and try to eat smaller amounts of food. They're usually hungry as a result, but it seems like the logical thing to do. Eating and losing weight seem to be two "contradictory" ideas. However, studies show that eating when you're hungry can actually help you lose weight, and, "conversely", skipping meals can make you gain weight. Why? We have "mechanisms" in our bodies that let us know when we're hungry and when we're full. 'Overhunger' can interfere with those mechanisms, and research shows that when people skip a meal and let themselves be overly hungry, they tend to eat more than they need to at their next meal. The "implication" of this research isn't that you can eat anything you want when you're hungry and still lose 10 pounds, you also need to embrace certain dietary "restrictions". For example, maintain a low intake of fats and simple carbohydrates such as white bread and pastries. Instead, eat lean proteins.
