Severe calorie restriction creates a situation that tells your body it's starving! Your body responds by slowing your metabolism in order to hold on to existing stored energy. In addition, if the food shortage continues, you will begin to burn fat AND muscle, which will further lower your metabolic rate. DON'T SKIP MEALS!
We don't plan to fail, we just fail to plan! Starting your day with protein will help keep your metabolism working at full power.
