You must eat breakfast if you want to lose weight

Since there is so much fail, how about some win right here:

With breakfast, insulin output is disproportionate to the input (breakfast), due to cortisol. A mismatch that would otherwise not be present under different circumstances (i.e. the same meal eaten later in the day, with low cortisol, or by someone with lower insulin sensitivity).

All of this raises interesting questions regarding the role of the cortisol-insulin connection, or dare I say breakfast consumption, and adaptation (or absence thereof) in the role of human evolution and its consequences for modern man, with his modern meal patterns.

Very interesting indeed, when you consider the events that transpire on a metabolic and transcriptional level once you combine cortisol and insulin. Not to mention the role of cortisol in place preference conditioning, learning, and the fact that even though breakfast-first-thing-in-the-morning is an artificial habit, manufactured by one of the first and possibly largest giant of the food industry (The Kellogg’s Company), it certainly is a habit we learned very fast.

BOOM!

How can breakfast be wrong?

Listen, if ANY of you hope to lose any weight, you need to mail me a dollar. Some studies might have shown that people who have mailed me a dollar lost on average MORE weight than people who haven't. If you want to lose weight, you must mail me a dollar!

Didn't read the whole OP because the subject line and first few sentences were just too silly. There are NO "musts" in weight loss.

You MUST eat a calorie deficit under TDEE for weight loss.

As someone already pointed out, this is not true. Just as eating less than TDEE is no guarantee of weight loss.

He didn't say it's a guarantee. He said it's a precondition.

must    /mʌst/ [muhst] auxiliary verb
1. to be obliged or bound to by an imperative requirement: I must keep my word.
2. to be under the necessity to; need to: Animals must eat to live.
3. to be required or compelled to, as by the use or threat of force: You must obey the law.
4. to be compelled to in order to fulfill some need or achieve an aim: We must hurry if we're to arrive on time.
5. to be forced to, as by convention or the requirements of honesty: I must say, that is a lovely hat.

Umm your point?
All those definitions prove my point - it's a precondition, NOT a guarantee.
ie. just because an animal eats doesn't mean it will live. Its head might get bitten off by a cougar. But if it doesn't eat at all it certainly won't live.

Nice try but come again.

point = If you "must" eat a deficit to lose weight then it is guaranteed that you won't lose weight without it. (which is not true)

Calories are calories ......... I DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU EAT THEM

i have an OPINION as to what everyone else needs because its my OPINON! We are on an opinionated forum are we not?

yes. but now you're sounding like that EccentricDad guy.

I have an opinion, that is clearly wrong, can be disproven over and over, but I still hold onto it and put it on the forums.

Low Blow!!!! Let's try to keep it civil here, folks. No need mentioning Him Who Shall Not Be Named

false

This statement is true.

I believe it's crucial-at least to have a little something within an hour of waking up. There used to be a period of my life when I didn't eat breakfast because it would make me feel sick-that was when I happened to weigh the most in my life! Now breakfast is really mandatory for me, and it absolutely gets me ready to go for the day. I do agree with you on this one.

Hahahaaa.... sorry laughing at " You must eat breakfast if you want to lose weight" This may be true for you. I go at least 4-5 days a week without breakfast. I eat lunch and dinner, then snack and snack. I do eat the calories I would have had at breakfast.. but in the evening :-) On the days I do eat breakfast it doesnt sustain me any longer than when I don't, sometimes it awakens the hunger beast and I'm eating lunch earlier than normal. I've lost 32 lb not eating breakfast. Guess this shows we all are different and what works for some just doesn't for others.

but seriously. calories are calories is flat out wrong. protein/carbs/fat all work differently in your body.
and timing does matter.

start eating all of your food the minute you wake up each day and see how it goes for you................

My favorite part about this thread is
