skipping breakfast to loose weight? :o

Ok

This clearly shows how different people react differently to eating breakfast. The bottom line is cases can be made for both eating and not eating breakfast. It's all down to what works for you. I have breakfast, i eat more later. Some people eat breakfast, they eat less later on.

The only thing that remains constant is that calorie deficit is what makes weight loss, and that breakfast being the most important meal of the day from a biological standpoint is wrong. From a personal standpoint, how it may help you control calories later, it varies person to person.

What's best depends on you. Ultimately you want a daily calorie deficit and eat healthy. Everyone's metabolism is different and in general, there's no stong evidence that shows eating breakfast reguarly is "best" for your metabolism. If skipping breakfast has an adverse affect on how you diet and your mood, then don't. If eating breakfast doesn't feel right for you, then there is no reason why have to eat it.

It is an interesting concept that I disagree with. I guess one of the most interesting things is that in your statement you refer to losing weight but not long term weight loss/weight maintenance.

Another interesting concept is that health census information has shown that most people in the healthy weight range eat breakfast. Could be coincidence of course but interesting all the same

It's an interesting concept because there are more people who eat breakfast because they *think* they are supposed to. Therefore you have more people overall eating breakfast, so of course you will have more healthy people regardless if it doesn't matter or not. People can eat a healthy breakfast, and then eat like crap the rest of the day.

Your arguement is invalid.

me personally think its a bad idea. u should have 3 balanced meals and a snack between meals as fruit

Holding onto that idea may make you talk like Tarzan.

Damn you for saying it WAY better than I did.

..but if you skip breakfast..first and foremost..you are not able to think clearly as your body is trying to grasp at anything to keep it moving..

Maybe "you" are not able to think clearly, but I haven't found the case with me, and you can't presume that to be the case with the original poster.

Again...the car thing.. if you drive on an empty gas tank..are you going to make it far? Of course not!..Your body needs fuel!!!

Here's the thing. If you had a full meal the night before, your "tank" won't be empty.

I've read many places the best thing is to get protein in your body within the first 15-30 minutes of waking up. Increases energy and boost metabolism.

I think it depends on you. I always eat breakfast. I wake up hungry. My hubby eats a late night snack and is never hungry in the morning.

I did a small experiment: when I ate breakfast (within an hour of waking up) everyday for a week (not changing anything in my workout or diet), I dropped more pounds than when I skipped breakfast for a week!!

Its said to be the most important meal of the day, and I agree. It jump starts your metabolism and gives you energy. But breakfast doesn't have to be something extravagant. Sometimes I just boil and egg and have some coffee, or I eat a piece of cheese (I know, heaven forbid!). If I don't eat breakfast, I don't feel the extreme hunger until about lunchtime, but that's because my metabolism is slowly starting up for the day. If I skip breakfast, I feel tired and sluggish! Its all up to you and what you feel!

Your arguement is invalid.

How can my argument be invalid when I didn't argue anything? Just posted some interesting research results...

You didn't even post any research lol. Where are your cited studies at? Oh wait, you didn't post anything.
