I tried that but it only makes me eat more when I start eating. I heard eating 5-6 times a day with small frequent times helps more.

It doesn't work because you won't do it forever, as soon as you start eating dinner again, you'll gain it back.

I agree with that. When I try to skip meals, then I just end up binging. I would suggest trying the six week body makeover diet. With it, you eat 5-6 times a day, and are guaranteed to lose at least 30 pounds in 6 weeks.

Im not big on diets because I cant stick to them. So my idea to lose weight would be to get the recomended servings of fruits and vegetables and things we were taught in school.

Do not skip meals! Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. And make breakfast and lunch your biggest meals. I lost 60 pounds doing this....along with watching carb intake and water intake and exercise.

I don't think its a good idea but I do think that an early dinner is better at least 3 hours before bed time :)  I was watching dr. Oz today and I saw that if you just watch your sugar intake and your carbs you can lose alot more weight :)
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.NEED Help? Check out my Beginners Guide pinned in the Support forum :)

Skipping meals is the WORST thing in the world to do!  Think of your metabolism as a fire;  if you want a roaring, hot-burning fire you have to "feed" it wood (or some kind of fuel) to get it to burn!  So stoke that fire!  Your metabolism is what not only gives you energy; it burns calories!  4-6 SMALL meals a day is best to keep the fire burning as it should!! :wave:

QFT

But really, what happens when you skip any meals or eat excessively small amounts of food as your meal, is your body begins to believe you don't have enough food to eat; to fight this, it begins to slow your metabolism to burn fewer calories.  Never let yourself go hungry if you can help it; get fruits or vegetables to snack on.  And really, small frequent meals are much better for us.

It is better to eat all your meals while dieting but eating dinner on the early side is a smart idea.

No skipping dinner does not help with weight lose just, have a small dinner before seven at night and no snacks.

I never skip a meal because I just get hungrier.  The key is to eat low-fat foods during the meals and control portions.  You can eat greens and stuff like that and get just about no calories.

Skip a meal doesn't seems a healthy way to lose weight.
Maybe smaller meals or soup instead of skip the dinner will work out better.

Skipping meals only puts your body on starvation mode.
