Can you lose weight by skipping breakfast?

If you’ve never skipped meals before, yes you can lose weight by skipping lunch (breakfast is needed to jump start your metabolism)… But the weight loss only happens for a little while, until you mess up your metabolism enough that it slows down and holds on to food longer, so I don’t recommend skipping meals. PLUS, once you skip lunch it’s easy to make the jump to skipping dinner as well- trust me; you don’t want to start playing that game.

Why not try having a good breakfast, a piece of fruit between between breakfast and lunch, then a healthy lunch (salad with chicken or slices of ham- dressing on the side), another piece of fruit (or a veggie, whatev.) in the afternoon, and a healthy low-fat dinner? If you go for a walk before meals, that also kick-starts the body’s food-burner. Drink plenty of water, avoid juice (empty calories, you get the vitamins, full of sugar but no fiber) and if you drink milk, make sure it’s skim.

Good luck. :)
