Anyone have any success stories from this? I was never a big breakfast eater so I think I will do great with this. Any advice feel free to say what's on your mind =)

    Careful, a lot of people here will instantly reply about how it slows your metabolism to a halt, and your body will go into starvation mode, etc.

    I skip breakfast everyday because I need to save my calories. I eat like crazy in the afternoon.when I get home from work.

    Tracking on this site plus IF has been great for me so far.

    I consider it a success when I lose 80 pounds.

    The thing I have learned is the following: find a diet system that works for YOU.In my case, I have finally figured out that fad diets don't work, and ultimately I had to take all of this knowledge I have pieced together and form something around myself.

    In my case, I had to control the hunger. Through supplements like 5-HTP, drinking way more water, and saving most of my calories for the afternoon I have made some nice strides.

    What is your weakness?

    I have my first meal at 11am everyday and last meal at 7pm. Also more of an afternoon eater, why waste calories on breakfast if your not hungry.

    No sucess story yet for me as just starting again after a weight gain.
