Does starving cause weight gain?
For a while now, I've been trying to lose weight and sometimes I skip meals, hoping it will help. But then I read somewhere that starving can actually lead to weight gain instead. Is this true?

Yes, starvation slows your metabolism. Instead of starving, drink warm lemon water in the morning and eat small meals like light dal-chawal to stay healthy and active.

Actually, when you starve, the body goes into survival mode and stores fat, which can lead to weight gain later. Eat at regular intervals rather than skipping meals.

It destroys your muscle mass and slows down your metabolic rate. When you eat again, you gain fat faster. Just focus on a protein-rich diet and consistent strength training.

Starving causes acidity and spikes blood pressure due to stress. Proper nutrition and mild daily walks are much better for weight control than skipping meals.
