Answers:
You'll lose more weight if you don't skip breakfast. Have a no or low fat yogurt for breakfast, an apple or banana for a snack, a lunch full of protein (like a salad w/ chicken in it or tuna on crackers), a vegetable snack, and a sensible dinner (maybe a bowl of Special K or Cheerios or something if you don't want to cook). Stick with lots of water, and try to cut down on a lot of salt and diet drinks. Black, red or green tea, hot or cold, would be fine (don't sweeten it). The trick is to eat small, healthy meals all day - it keeps your metabolism up - you MUST start by eating breakfast. You may also want to split your exercise up by doing 1/2 hour of cardio 2 or 3 different times per day, but if you can't, doing an hour at the gym would be fine. Don't plan on losing more than 1 or 2 lbs a week after the first couple of weeks.

dont really know it doesnt really sound healthy but try it for a week and see what happens
I don't think so. Your body goes a long time without eating over night. If you skip breakfast and eat later in the day, your body will think it is starving and start storing the food as fat. Try, instead, cutting off your eating time a bit earlier in the day rather than waiting to eat later. Your metabolism will not slow down like it does by skipping breakfast.
no way breakfast is the most important meal of the day. and skipping meals will hurt you in the long run you can eat some carbs but not a lot. you also need some meat. give yourseldf one free day or youll never keep the diet and if you break it dont say ill start over on monday for a fresh week get back on track the next day it will really help.
No it won't! If you want to lose weight, eat a breakfast, lunch, go to the gym, and then have a lite dinner. You'll need fuel for the day, eat to live, and not live to eat, and you'll do just fine. Just eat what's good and what you need, this way you can lose the best way, the healthy way. If you starve like this, it will only frustrate you, as when you start to eat again, you'll gain it all back.
Your biggest meals should be in the morning and afternoon, because your body will burn all this off, it's when we slow down at nite and eat, this stays on, hope this makes sense.
Maybe not, sometimes when you cut back on eating your body stalls, because it thinks that you are starving it, but eventually when you win over..you will lose weight fast, BUT you will gain it back even faster!
Read this excerpt from the book "Dieting for Dummies" by Jane Kirby: "Don't cut your calorie level drastically when trying to lose weight; this strategy will backfire. Your body is programmed to defend your usual weight, so when calories are cut severely - to fewer than 800 to 1,000 a day - your metabolic rate adjusts to conserve the few calories you do give your body."
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
