Over the past few weeks, we have been debunking Dieting and Nutrition Myths. Stay tuned next Wednesday to see the 5th and final Myth!

Here is the fourth common dieting and nutrition myth debunked.

Myth 4: I can eliminate calories by skipping meals

Fact: Skipping a meal, especially breakfast, has been shown to increase your chances of being overweight.

It’s better to eat throughout the day, including healthy snacks between meals. Exchange an unhealthy snack with a healthier option instead of skipping a meal. Cutting out just 100 calories a day and increasing your activity level will do more for your health and weight than skipping a meal.

Happy Wellness Wednesday! The 5th and final Myth is coming next week!
