Skipping meals and starving yourself isn't a real solution. For actual fat loss around your middle, Keith Cormican, a UK-based registered dietitian, told us that "those who skip meals tend to feel hungrier later on and eat more than they normally would. Skipping or delaying meals increases the release of the hunger hormone called ghrelin, and it makes you emotionally hungry, leading to craving high-calorie junk foods." The best advice: eat balanced meals with high-quality lean protein, complex carbs, and veggies. The real trick to leaning out your gut, according to Cormican, is that you follow this advice and eat every three hours.
