As we all know, most girls pay much attention to their figure, so they will think of many ways to lose weight. Some girls will skip dinner. So, is skipping dinner effective for weight loss? Is skipping dinner harmful to the body?

Some people do lose weight if they skip dinner at night. The weight loss here may not be a loss of fat, but the disappearance of water in the body. Skipping dinner at night to lose weight is not good for the body. Once you start eating dinner again, or eat a little more every day, your weight will easily rebound, or even get fatter. If you skip dinner at night, stomach acid is still secreted, which is more harmful to the stomach. Skipping dinner means that your body will be in a "starved" state for the next ten hours. Such a long period of fasting increases the secretion of stomach acid, and if it goes on for a long time, it is easy to form gastritis or ulcers. The process of weight loss is actually to control the total amount of calories consumed every day. If you skip dinner at night, and eat a lot at noon and in the morning, which exceeds the daily calories consumed, you will gain weight even if you skip dinner at night.

Skipping dinner has an impact on the body, as follows: 1. It harms the stomach and intestines. Skipping dinner for a long time means that there is no food in the stomach at night, and the stomach acid is constantly secreted. The gastric acid will cause certain damage to the gastric mucosa, which may cause gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastric ulcers, gastritis, duodenal ulcers, etc. 2. The probability of gallstones will increase. Skipping dinner for a long time is related to gallstones. This is because if you are in a fasting state for a long time, the gallbladder may not contract, and the cholesterol concentration in the bile will increase, which may induce gallstones. 3. It induces insomnia, because working for an afternoon consumes a lot of physical energy. If you don’t eat dinner and don’t replenish your body with enough energy, your body will become weak, and you will feel very hungry when you sleep. Your brain will become excited and you are likely to suffer from insomnia.

Skipping dinner may affect menstruation. Irregular diet will definitely affect people's health, especially women. Insufficient nutrition is not good for you. Losing weight and skipping dinner can easily lead to malnutrition. Severe cases will also affect menstruation. If it is delayed or advanced for more than 7 days per month, it is considered irregular menstruation. Daily life should strengthen nutrition, eat more nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, red dates and various red meats, pay attention to balanced and diversified nutrition, and maintain adequate sleep. It is recommended that you have a reasonable and balanced diet habit every day. Dieting is not the right way to lose weight. It can be done through moderate exercise. In addition, if irregular menstruation occurs, it is best to conduct a detailed examination.

Not eating dinner for a month cannot determine how much weight you can lose. Some people lose more, some lose less, and some may not lose weight at all. Whether a person can control their weight is obviously related to the total amount of food consumed every day and the total calories consumed through exercise every day. Only when the consumption is greater than the intake can the weight be gradually controlled. It is not recommended to lose weight by skipping dinner at night, because it will have a negative effect on the digestive system, and skipping dinner at night will also cause malnutrition.
