Are you skipping meals and still finding it hard to lose weight?

Many of us over 40 think that eating less often is the secret to a faster metabolism. However, skipping meals can often backfire by causing blood sugar spikes and muscle loss.

First, skipping breakfast frequently leads to late-night snacking when our willpower is drained. Second, consistent protein intake throughout the day is vital for maintaining metabolic health as we age.

Have you noticed a difference when you eat regular meals versus skipping them? What meal timing has actually worked best for your energy and weight loss?
