Is it true you should eat within 30 minutes of waking up?

Slow and steady wins the race lol but nope, as long as you eat 5-6 small meals a day it don't matter. I mean obviously you wont eat huge meal 10 mins before bed...... I eat every 2-3 hours and 6 small meals a day and i"m doing great and don't feel hungry.

You DON'T need to eat 5-6 meals a day.
You CAN eat right before bed
You DON'T have to eat every 2-3 hours.

This is working for you, and that's great. But it's surely not something you HAVE to do.

Nope what ever works for each individual is great but that's one of the best ways to speed up your metabolism. just a suggestion :P

It doesn't speed up your metabolism though...

Have you done it that way before? i never said they had to do it though, just something that works for me. Maybe what you do might work for them too, who knows but pretty please don't say things that I never said thnakyou :P

But you DID say it speeds up your metabolism

My weight loss is slow. I am only loosing 1 pound a week. Today somebody told me I should eat something within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning. Is this true?

What does it matter if you eat 1-3 meals versus 5-6? And what is wrong with eating right before bed?

the reason for this method of madness lol is eating smaller portions more frequently speeds up your metabolism which in turn assists in weight loss. Also by eating more frequently your less likely to binge......

I do, but only because I don't get up until 9:00 - 9:30. God I love being retired!

Retired? That's not fair!

Yes...it will wake up your metabolism. Even if it's just half a banana. Imagine that your metabolism is a camp fire and it goes out when you fall asleep. How do you start it again? Throw on some wood. Every three hours you add more wood to keep that fire burning hot. Your food is the wood. Make sense?

It would make sense if my metabolism stopped when I went to sleep. :huh:

I am referring to the word HAVE as in you implying i told this lady that she has to do it lol i was trying to tell her what worked for me and you went and blew it all out of proportion sayin i was telling her she HAS to do something when i wasn't lol IT WAS JUST A SUGGESTION OH MY ROFL

In my opinion eating in the morning has helped my weight loss and has also got rid of my chronic heatburn which I have had for over 10 years!!

Breakfast is called it for a reason Break fast you have been fast whilst asleep and you are breaking that fast.

Yes if you keep under your cals etc you will lose weight but there is a healthy way and an unhealthy way to do it.

I do get annoyed with alot of **** people post on here about you can eat crap as long as you keep under your cals etc I tend to listen to my doctor and PT who are qualified. Eat breakfast, lower carbs in the evening, try not to eat white carbs (it does spike your insulin levels) and drink lots of water.

The only time I have issues is when I don't follow these simple rules.

ummm so what?
