Can i lose weight by skipping lunch everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not ideal: Skipping meals is not the ideal way to lose weight. This is because your metabolism will slow when you skip meals, and slow metabolism makes it harder to burn calories. Also, skipping meals puts you at greater risk for a loss of vital nutrients. Better to exercise regularly and eat in a healthy manner.
