Eating is important! If you want to lose weight, and stay healthy, you shouldn’t skip meals! You may ask why can’t you lose weight by skipping meals. Well you can, but it’s not a good idea. It is better to eat more smaller, healthier meals that to skip meals. Skipping meals changes your metabolism. If you don’t eat, your body goes into a survival mode, and starts to store more fat for future use. It doesn’t know that you will be eating in few more hours.
Yesterday I missed lunch. Not on purpose. I went and ran errands at lunchtime. When I got back, I microwaved a Lean Cuisine meal (Chicken In Peanut Sauce). The box had some relatively long times. Longer than I am used to microwaving these frozen meals. Went it was done, I took it back to my desk. I noticed that some of the vegetables looked burned. What happened? I tried a taste of the chicken and got this yucky burnt taste. I spit it out. What the heck happened? I checked the box. I found out what happened. I had microwaved it for the proper time. But I had missed that I was supposed to have waved it at only 50%! I nuked it at 100%! I through the meal away. It was garbage. I was still hungry. I ended up eating an orange, some Girl Scout cookies (thin mints), and some M&Ms. Okay, not the healthiest lunch, but I was hungy, and I didn have any more Lean Cuisines in the freezer here at work!
