Is it true that if you eat breakfast, you lose more weight than not eating it at all?

yes, because it increases your metabolism, which burns fat more efficiently. Fruit or whole grain cereal dont add much calories and jumpstart your system.

Losing weight fast is usually just in the beginning and yes it's more water weight than anything else. It does provide a great incentive though to keep going. After that losing weight the slow way like you are doing is the best. It becomes a way of life as well and you'll stay in good shape.

It depends on how low your caloric intake is.  If you consume a VERY low amount of calories your metabolism will slow down.  That means that your body will store more of the calories as fat than normal.  See when you don't eat much your body will go on survival mode.  Because it doesn't think that it will get fed often enough, it will save a lot more than it normally would.  In order to lose weight you  need to eat regular meals throughout the day, but make sure that they are good quality (healthy) meals, and excersise because that is what burns the calories you already have stored.  A good way to raise your metabolism is to weight train.  Muscle, even at rest burns calories just to maintain itself.  Therefore, if you work out and increase muscle, you will burn more calories at rest than you would otherwise.  Also it's a hormone called cortisol that directs where and when to diposit fat onto your body.

No, but keep in mind...weight gain is cumulative. Depending on the time and composition of the food, some will leave the system and some will stay. Foods break down into proteins, fats and carbohydrates. You might not retain the foods you eat at one sitting, but overtime your body will store more fats and fluids than you need.

there is no such thing. Crash dieting will make you lose weight, but you gain it back and MORE. Also, crash dieting kills your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight later.

no. It makes you more hungry and slows down your metabolism, making the food you eat more fattening

No it doesn't because your body thinks that you are starving it and it will hold on to EVERY calorie that you put into it. Believe me, been there, done that. The fastest way to lose weight is by eating six **small** meals a day. It takes some getting used to but once you see the results it gets a lot easier. Very small portions six times a day combined with exercising 3-4 times a week has helped me take off almost 100 lbs this year. Also: water is key. Make sure that you drink plenty of it!

yes...after not eating for a long while your body goes into a survival mode eating what fat you have on your body. but as soon as you eat something again yuor body will hold on to that food b/c it thinks that you will not eat again. so by holding all that food you will gain weight quicker. just eat every day like a normal perspn.

You can a lose a lot of weight fast by eating six *small* meals a day and exercising 30-60 minutes a day. When I say small meals, I mean mainly white meat and low carbs and very low sugar. Breakfast may be half a grapefruit and 2 small slices of turkey, etc. And it is usually a good rule not to eat past 7pm. I have lost almost 100 lbs doing this for about a year now. It works wonders!DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!

I know this probably sounds crazy, but eat more often. No not big meals. Studies have shown that instead of eating 3 big meals a day, you can eat 6 small meals and you'll lose more weight because it helps boost your metabolism. Having good metabolism makes dailey activities burn more calories. Hope this helps and good luck.

yes becides eating a big breakfast, fruit does do alot. if there is anytime of the day that you need to be more focussed eat alot of fruit it wakes you up makes you feel energized, i myself put mine in a blender with lots of ice so its like an icey/smoothie kind of drink. try it and then keep doing it its good for you in more than one way.

Eating breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, because its the meal that stops your 8 hour plus fasting period. It jump starts your metabolism and gets your body working in prime condition faster, at least better.

Actually, it's better to work out before breakfast to burn more calories, because your body will burn more fat because it needs the energy from you stored up carbs. Thus, you burn more fat because you haven;t eaten yet to get energy you would normal get from food.

There is no evidence currently that any food alters your metabolic rate sufficiently to be useful in promoting weight loss.\nLook at the second article in the link below:

If you burn more calories than you take in, you will lose weight.

It is very important to eat breakfast, especially if you are trying to loose weight. Eating breakfast speeds up you metabolism for the day, and if consumed regularly can speed up your metabolism all together.\n\nEven though you may not feel hungry in the morning it is important to "break the fast" that you have just gone through due to sleep.\n\nIf you eat a good healthy breakfast you will find yourself having more energy, and therefore burning off more kilojoules. You will also find that you will need less to eat at lunch and dinner because you started the day with a proper meal.\n\nThis is very important as much of the energy we receive from lunch and dinner can not be burnt off as quickly as breakfast. It sounds silly but the earlier you eat your food for the day the better. This increases the amount of time your body has to burn off the excess energy. \n\nI suggest yogurts with no added sugar, and with less fat helps. Another often is muesli - not cereal. Many of these are full of sugar. Also be careful to make sure the muesli or bran you have is not toasted and does not have added sugar or honey. But as I said, yogurt and fruit is the best option.\n\nStay away from juices also, try to stick to water. Hope this helps!\n\nAnother tip which you may find helpful - smaller serving sizes will help you eat less. As does eating slowly. Your brain can take up to 20 minutes to register that you are full and have had enough. American serves of food are usually around 3 times what is needed for a healthy meal.\n\nEat smaller, eat slower and you will eat less.  Good luck :)

yes! it is actually water weight though. you cant really get rid of it becuase whenever you eat something with water in it (which is practically everything) then you get water weight. it is not fat though. if you dont eat a few days you will notice that you rapidly lose weight. you are losing all the water from your body. one day i just did not eat at all, i lost 3 pounds in one day. so yes, there is wate4r weight but you dont want to lose it, unless you choose to not eat.
