So there's one question that I've asked myself a couple of times:
Does it help to skip meals? I guess everyone knows a sitiation when a had a way to big lunch and you feel kind of sorry for what you just did to your body. So I was tinking about if it would be helpful to skip dinner then. I tried this a couple of times but the success was not always obvious. That's the point when I googled for possible solutions to this myth.
I discovered that skipping meals even can make you gain more weight! That's no joke Ladies & Gentleman not eating is sometimes worse for your body than eating. If you skip a meal your metabolism will slow down, because your body will go to some kind of starvation mode. When you then eat the next meal your are more likely to eat more and you won't be able to maintain the calorie requirements for a healthy diet.
So should not skip any meals, but instead eat more smaller during the day.

I actually also took a look at some other food myths that I gathered from my friends. One was about ice water. A friend of mine had been drinking huge amounts of ice water in burning some calories. I found out that it really doesn't work like that. The other thing she thought was that drinking several glasses of water before dinner can help her to eat less. I found out that drinking water before dinner can make you feel more stuffed. But the water doesn't really fill your stomach. But if instead of drinking water you have a simple soup it will make you feel more full. So you can not fool your body by just drinking water. You also have to have something with it.
