See if you're guilty of any of the following behaviors, and learn how to easily correct them:
Mistake 1: You go too long without eating.
Perhaps you wake up and you aren't hungry, so you skip breakfast and go straight to lunch. What happens is that your metabolism slows down to compensate for the lack of fuel (food) put into your body.
"Eating breakfast means you have given your body some startup fuel for the day, and it can now begin processing it, or 'burning it up,'" says Kelly O'Connor, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. "The trick is to not rely on hunger but have a regular intake of meals and snacks throughout the day." You're also more apt to overeat at a meal if you've skipped the previous one.
