When we discover that we are heavier than we want to be, we have a
natural inclination to eat less food. We may skip lunch or eat only
a tiny amount of our dinner in the hope that if we eat less our body
will burn off some of its fat. But that is not necessarily true.
Eating less actually makes it more difficult to lose weight.
Keep in mind that the human body has endured for thousands of years,
and that at the earliest times there were no diets. The only
low-calorie event in people's lives was starvation. Those who could
cope with a temporary lack of food were the ones who survived. Our
bodies, therefore, have developed this built-in mechanism to help us
survive in the face of low food intake.
