No, that title is not a typo.
One of the things that makes people not get the weight loss
results that they want is that they may occassionally be
starving their bodies.
There are two basic ways that this can happen. One is for it to
be done inadvertently---like when you just get busy and forget
to eat.
Another is when you purpose deprive your body of food to try and
"speed up" your results.
Regardless of how it happens, either scenario in this case is
equally damaging. Although you will decrease the calories that
you take in which may lead to some short-term weight loss, the
kicker here is that you will be slowing down your metabolism.
What this means is that after the starving is over, your body
will hold onto the next meal you eat for dear life, expecting be
be starved again.
If you allow starvation to become a habit, you will actually be
contributing to your own weight gain in the future.
Therefore, make sure that you are keeping your meals no more
than 4 hours apart. As long as you do this, you will be
supporting the healthy metabolism that you'll need to lose the
kind of weight that you've committed to.
