Hi, for any one to loose weight it will be fast in the begening, and after some time it will be very very slow, so it is not due to the skipping one day . Or if you have so many skippings it is possible that you may gain weight. It is your original weight , so it is to be converted to sugars and then to be burned.
Thank you.
