Can't commit to a full workout regime or highly restrictive diet? You don't need to.

Health and wellness come not from a magic pill, diet, or program, but from gradually transforming your current lifestyle into a healthy one, day by day.

Tip #7: Skipping meals is a weight loss no-no!

I know that skipping a meal may seem like the right thing to do if you are trying to lose weight, but it only encourages the fat in your body to stick around. Skipping meals is one of the biggest reasons people have high body fat levels. When you skip a meal you produce excess insulin, which actually makes more fat in your body the next time you eat!

If you are trying to lose body fat, skip out on skipping meals. Instead, eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. This helps you to maintain your blood sugar levels, which is favorable for fat loss.

*WARNING: Be careful with this advice. Remember to eat SMALL, frequent meals...not just more frequent meals. :)
