You must eat breakfast if you want to lose weight

I know all that I been studying it for years. I do agree his post is rather full on and extreme but like I say it works very well for me and I agree. When I was boxing I had to lose weight to fight and I would starve and run before breakfast and eventually it left me drained tired and weak. Now Im in better shape and my training and diet routine works perfectly thats all I am saying I was surprised at the very negative comments made about the OP. I do agree with him not the bit about toast and ham .....YUCK!

I dont eat before bed. So i dont have any of that what you described. I do get up at 5.30 A.M have breakfast and im in the gym for 6.30 so without it I would definitely be struggling and thats 6 times a week

I am amazed at what a negative response the OP has had! I agree that "You must eat breakfast" might be quite a hard way of saying what works for him. I do think he is right. It is a well known fact that if you starve yourself your metabolism does slow down, 8 hours sleepis in effect an 8 hour fast and if you are trying to lose weight it is very likely you didnt eat before you went to bed. So where are you getting your energy from. Its likely you are cannibalizing your muscle mass and that isnt good for you. If you are trying to lose weight you really want to lose fat dont you? You dont want to lose muscle mass and fat. So you really should be into FAT loss not weight loss. Therefore you MUST eat regularly in order to keep your body living on its fat reserves and nothing else. The advantages here are easy to see no lean body mass is lost so your rate of fat loss must be greater. You will achieve your goals quicker. Give the guy a break Hes RIGHT!!

Remember the food you ate the night before? Well it takes hours for that to digest and the energy to get into your system. And while you sleep your digestive system slows down, so it takes even longer for energy from the last food you ate to enter your system. Fasting for up to 24 hours is fine, after that you may run into some of the issues you describe.

So no, he is not right. It is the way he did it, but the reason he lost weight was that he was in a caloric deficit long enough to lose that much weight, it is that simple.

yes but if you ate a 6 pm the night before it takes hours for that to finish digesting (most likely you are in bed while it is still digesting, so your body has that energy to use (live on) after you wake up.

You need to stop drinking all alcohol, only eat the whites of eggs, replace all meat with turkey, and eat 8 meals a day or you'll never lose weight.

Don't be so mean, maybe she means it's important for her, because that way she doesn't have the urge to snack or binge before lunch...

Or maybe not and she really thinks it's important for weight loss.

This thread is magnific. mean

Being mean was the furthest thing from my mind. I absolutely swear by breakfast and never miss it. I don't know if you read this thing from the beginning but it begins with the insistence that if we don't eat breakfast, then we will never lose weight.

Awesome word, "magnific!"
