I read in a mag the other day that beyonce knowles done a diet called the reverse food diet (something like that (and no, its not about throwing up)) :oP
Anyway, she said she has a big meal for breakfast, a healthy lunch, and cereal in the evening instead of a dinner.
What do you think of this? Do you think its do-able? has anyone done it? did it help you lose weight? did it affect your body? was it bad?
Any help on it at all would be helpful.
Thanks.

This is the same concept as eating like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch and a pauper for dinner. When you are breaking a fast, you should eat as much as you can. Your body needs the extra food following such a lengthy period of non eating. Lunch should and could easily be smaller. Dinner can be even smaller but I ouwld never end the day with cereal. This will cause your insulin to rise a bit and you will be to hungry by the time your fast is over. Dinner should be a protein. So it would have been a better choice to end the day with a piece of cheese and strawberries or half a chicken breast and a small green leafy sald. I would pitch the cereal.

I have not done it personally, but alot of people do it by using cereals like special K with 2% milk. It seems like it may work since the amount of food eaten at each meal is the key any way. Just be sure to incorporate healthy nutritious snacks.

the only healthy diet is a balanced one. you might look at her and go whoa shes skiny but she also works out constantly, and bounces around on stage for hours at a time. my advice is 3 meals and 3 snacks a day (about every 2-2.5 hours). exercise will help loose weight as well as knowing how many calories you need.

I have heard that this does work.
The reason is that if you eat a big meal late at night your body will not use up all the calories and will make them into fat. However, if you have your big meal at lunchtime you will burn it all up

saw this on a tv programme being tested by someone. they said it is possible to lose some weight but it was a difficult way of eating to keep up long term.

breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper. it works just fine as long as you get all your nutrients. it makes sense to get most of your calories at the start of the day when you're more likely to burn them off.

Yes, it would work just fine. Cereal is really good for you if you have it with milk!
