Skip breakfast --> lose weight?

Question

I have come to realize that if I don't eat breakfast I can lose weight, or otherwise not gain any weight. When I was eating breakfast, I would gain weight - this was happening when I was 16 years old. Since then, I am only having for breakfast a glass of multivitamins, and sometimes (once a month for 10 days in a row) B12 pills, and again sometimes I still take some fortifying honey tincture. I am 24 now, do you think I'm past the adolescent weight gain problem?

Answer 1

I do not see how it follows. You will lose weight if you skip any meal - be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. You will eat less! What happened back then - you ate breakfast, then had two other hearty meals, so you gained weight. Then you missed one of the meals - you lost. It does not matter which one. I suppose if you skip one meal now, you will be losing too. If you want to have three meals a day, count your calories.

Answer 3

well that shouldnt have been happening at age 16, it depends what you were eating for breakfast when you were putting on weight and what you were eating rest of the day.
But you cant change the time, Hmm im not too sure try it eat a healthy breakfast for a few days no junk food or anything bad for you, then see if you gain weight

Answer 4

Skipping breakfast is a bad way to lose weight--you'll just be hungrier later in the day. If you're not starving when you wake up in the morning, then you ate too much the day before. Eat a small breakfast and you'll have more energy during the day.

Answer 5

Weight loss is really quite simple; there are only two things you need do to reach your goals:

1. Restrict daily calories to 1600 calories per day. By increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat, you will be able to keep your intake at this level without feeling hungry or uncomfortable.

2. Exercise for one hour a day, every single day. It can be anything from pilates to just plain walking, but do it. One hour. Every day.

This is a pretty simple recipe for weight loss, but it works. It has worked for me; I have lost 62 pounds this way. It will work for you if you commit to it and stick to it.


Good luck!
