Body: 

1. Skipping meals causes bad breath? The body burns up energy improperly and forms toxins that are released through the lungs. These toxins result in a recognizable smell of acetone.

2. Never skip meals or your body's starvation defenses will kick in, lower your metabolism, and store fat.

3. Fasting causes the body to use protein as an energy source even to the point of breaking down vital tissues such as organs and muscles. Excess protein, is converted by the body to fat and stored.

4. Never skip a meal, and eat healthy snacks between meals. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs, provides consistent energy, and maintains metabolism efficiency.

5. Fear of food will make you fat because 1) you will overcompensate later, (2) the body thinks it’s starving and literally stores calories.
