I could never understand the concept of not eating for people who desire to lose weight. This idea is not only just plain wrong, but losing weight can actually become harder because consuming too few calories can lower the body's metabolism.
That said, if you find yourself constantly saying “I want to lose weight,” then start eating now.
Of course eating healthy should be your main goal, but my point is to eat. Ideally, you should be eating 6 small meals a day to help keep your body's metabolism elevated. If you feel that eating so many meals a day won’t help you with your weight loss goals, you should read my article How to Lose 10 Pounds.
In that article I explained how I was able to lose weight on the Special K Challenge, but my twin sister on the very same diet plan didn’t lose anything because she was not eating enough. Notice I didn’t say that my sister was not “eating healthy.” I said my sister was not “eating enough.”
In general, not eating due to deliberate starvation or being on one of those restrictive fad diets will keep any dieter overweight. As I stated in my other articles, the weight loss formula is pretty straightforward: consume fewer calories than you burn. This is especially true if you lead an inactive lifestyle.
Naturally, it’s recommended that you workout with a regular fitness routine to help you drop those extra unwanted pounds and get thin, but I wouldn’t exactly proclaim that you have to workout in order to lose weight. Exercising certainly helps, primarily if you want to build lean muscle or get a bikini body, but if you don’t have the extra time to exercise with a weight loss workout plan or maybe you dislike exercising (like I do), then the only other way to lose weight quickly is to simply eat less or count calories for fat loss.
At first counting calories may seem like an inconvenience, but once you get the gist of it, you will be able to make a "mental note" of your daily caloric intake and slim down without much effort. Also, when done consistently, not only will you lose weight naturally, but you will also be able to enjoy the foods you love and still lose weight without having to rely on diet pills or fad diets for fat loss.
That’s the premise behind weight loss programs like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers and why they are so successful for many dieters. It’s not about being on a “diet," but about being accountable of the foods you eat and the number of daily calories you consume.
Any extras calories your body does not need leads to weight gain.

Once you take control of what you eat and learn how to portion control your meals, you will start to slim down and get the body you want. If you feel you need weight loss help to achieve your goals, I recommend joining Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Again, many dieters have been very successful on these weight loss programs.
Remember….if you want to lose weight, EAT!
Eating 6 small meals a day along with counting calories will help you with your weight loss goals. If you want to lose weight quickly, then exercise regularly with a fitness routine at least 2-3 times per week.
Lastly, while I am not a fan of fad diets, I do like the Special K diet and I would recommend dieters to try this diet plan because it is not restrictive and it helps dieters to gradually ease into the habit of eating 6 small meals a day while counting calories with little effort.
However, keep in mind that the Special K diet is a diet plan that's meant for people with less than 10 pounds to lose. To add, this is not a diet plan meant to be on long-term.
Once you complete the Special K Challenge, develop the habit of eating a well balanced diet and watch your daily caloric intake until you reach your desired weight. For permanent and lasting weight loss results, combine all three habits as part of your new lifestyle: eat 6 small meals a day, count calories, and exercise at least 2-3 times per week.
