Skipping meals may feel productive, but your body still needs regular fuel to function well. Long gaps without food can lead to low energy, difficulty focusing, and stronger cravings later in the day.
When meals are skipped often, the body may respond by conserving energy. This can make weight management feel harder and disrupt blood sugar balance for some people.
Structured meals that include protein, fiber, and healthy fats support steadier energy, appetite awareness, and metabolic rhythm. This approach focuses on nourishment, not restriction.
