Hi really enjoyed reading your post.
Why do people lose more weight by just not eating vs eating healthy and exercising?

I am sorry but I think eating breakfast really is a BIG help to lose weight. Many people fail to realize the importance of eating meal in the morning. This is the best way to start your body burning calories. Eating breakfast keeps your metabolism regulated and provides you energy for the day’s work. Waiting too long in between meals make your body starve and it will store and save fats instead of burning it. Cheers!!

It’s good to see other people who agree! My issue is that the sight or smell of food first thing in the morning makes me sick—I want coffee and nothing else! Plus, I like starting the day with a somewhat less-than-bloated belly, because as soon as I eat, there it goes, poof. So for me to eat in the morning would be going against my appetite and my instincts. I haven’t eaten breakfast since I was a little kid, and I keep my weight in check OK, except for my icky belly (I’m in my fifties now so it’s nearly impossible to get rid of it.)

I dont believe in it at all.Eating is eating,whether you eat food at day or night,it really doesnt matter.The actual reason for eating breakfast is because we tend to be active during the morning and therefore calories get burned quickly.

I agree completely with you. For the purpose of fat/weight loss, it is accepted dogma that you have to eat brakfast to kick start metabolism, reduce hunger later, etc. It is nonsense. If I eat anything, any food whatsoever before lunchtime I will be hungry the rest of the day to the point that diet adherence becomes very difficult. It has also been well established that eating does not increase metabolism. Eat six times a day or one time a day, it doesn’t improve your metabolism. It only comes down to calories in/calories out. It took me about 3 years to truly accept that. You are spinning your wheels if you believe otherwise. The fastest route to weight loss is to reduce calories below your Basal metabolic rate. Also, exercise is pretty useless for weight loss. Don’t fall into that trap of thinking you can outexercise your intake. You can’t. Skipping breakfast was the single greatest reason I was ablel to drop 30 pounds of fat in 4 months.

I ate breakfast every single day for 27 years. For years 22-27 I started slowly gaining weight. Every morning I’m not actually hungry, I would just eat out of habit, since eating breakfast has been ingrained in me since I was a kid. Lately I’ve stopped eating breakfast. I was up at 730am this morning and just now at 11 I’m starting to feel hungry. This is when I’d usually have lunch anyways. So I basically just slashed 300-400 cals from my diet by just listening to my body (and often times more because breakfast would whet my appetite, also, and I’d find myself looking for something sweet after my Cheerios). Just like everything else in life, whats best for one may not be best for another. I’ve lost close to a pound per week for the last few weeks doing this.

This is exactly the same for me too. I wouldnt fell hungry in the mornings and would force myself to have a healthy breakfast but way before lunchtime I would be craving for more food! I do not eat breakfast at all now and have a much better balanced diet. I think it is very overrated, it works for some people but I think it doesnt work for the majority of people.

Yea, I too find that when I eat breakfast in the morning, I actually get hungry earlier in the day. If I skip breakfast, I usually don’t even notice when lunch time rolls around. However, I think the best advice is to eat 5 small meals a day, not just relying on breakfast, lunch, and dinner (or lunch and dinner in some of our cases)
