I'm trying to lose weight, so I've drastically cut down on my food portions. But instead of losing, I feel like I'm actually gaining weight or at least not losing any. Can eating too little food actually cause weight gain or hinder weight loss?

Starving yourself slows down your metabolic rate, making it harder to burn calories. A much better approach is to eat small, balanced meals and include a 30-minute brisk walk daily, which keeps your metabolism high and active.
