Answer 1

breakfast is mandatory - jumpstarts your metabilsm.
you need much more calories than that and eat regulary so your body doesnt store any calories for later (fat reserves)
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Answer 2

breakfast should be ur biggest meal, lunch smaller than breakfast, and dinner is supposed to be the lightest meal of the day. im 16, and i lost 6 kgs in 5 days.. this is what i did.. ( during the time.. i never went hungry.) even tho it doesnt sound that much...

breakky:
1 grapefruit (or the juice)
2 kiwi fruits
----20 mins later---- ( u gtta do it 20 mins after, so the fruit can digest) AFTEr the fruit.. comes the bread.. wholemeal bread (LOW GI) with cheese.... that was my breakfast.

Lunch was salad and tuna...
dinner was chicken and a salad.
and i just excersised... basically................ in a nutshell.... low gi is the key to weightloss... if u have something between the GI of 0-35 u lose weight, between 35-50 u stay the same weight... 50+ and ull gain weight... so like.. if u drink beer... thats like GI of 100... ull ave to eat like a kilo of green beans... to lose weight. if ya get me. but yeah.. hope that helped :)

Skipping breakfast ruins your metabolism. Definitely not the best way to lose weight.
