Weight and strength training should not be taken up as an activity alone and must be considered as a responsibility too because it becomes altogether more important to ensure that one takes adequate nutrition while working out. Many people tend to skip meals so as to cut down calorie count but it rather results in severe deficiencies which in turn cause health disorders. One such example is the spike in stress inducing hormone cortisol, which ends up resulting in weight gain. Additionally, one can also witness lower energy levels due to slower metabolism induced by skipping meals.
