diets don't work because your body will adjust its needs to be able to function on what you are giving it. if you cut down to 1500 calories you will lose weight intially but eventually you will hit a plateau, you won't lose anymore weight. this happens because your body has learned to function on just the 1500 calories you are giving it. the only way to lose more weight is to cut your calories down again but you'll eventually hit that plateau again. so the best bet is to make healty eating choices, lean protein, whole grains, limiting fats and sugars, and to get regular exercise. the key is to make a lifestyle change, whereas a diet is changing now to drop the weight and then going back to bad habits where the weight will come back, but if you change your lifestyle and your habits you will be better able to lose the weight and maintain it for a longer period of time

Weight is never a problem for me. I never skip dinner for losing weight. Sometimes I skip dinner because I am too tired to eat.

I tried that. Later in the evening I ate more. This definitely does not work for me.

I think the best way of losing weight is having small portions and more meals so you won't be hungry and of course some exercise.

I wouldn't do that if i were you. if you want to lose quickly right before a big event, it could work, but you will gain it all right back after you start eating dinner again. (plus, who wants to be hungry when they're trying to go to sleep?!) Try eating healthy "mini meals" all day long. that keeps your metabolism going (or, you could also try crystal light's metabolism booster) and it also makes you not hungry because you still are eating. good luck!

I wouldn't skip meals.  I normally don't eat breakfast, so I don't consider that skipping a meal.  I agree with eating less more often.  Most of my adult life I have grazed.  (that's what I call it, lol)

Skipping meals is one of the worst things you can do.
Eat small snacks every 2 hours.  Keep your body nourished yet healthy.

Fruits and Veggies......

No, you don't have to skipped meal to lose weight. I know many people already did this but ain't gonna work. you should eat every meal but just a little bit just to have a little food inside your tummy. Skipped meal is not good at all. eat dinner before 6pm. eat some veges too :)

I sometimes skip dinner only because I get home late and too tired to make dinner....lol  I usually end up popping something in the microwave and eating that.  I've become more health minded however and now eat a lot of organic fare.  Fresh green beans don't take long to steam, and they make an excellent dinner.  I usually steam them until soft/crunchy, put butter and a little salt......that's dinner!

Fruits are bad for you when eaten at night, too much sugar. Eat salad instead, with little dressing as possible
