Two Meals A Day by luap: 5:57pm On Oct 18, 2010 |
For the last three months I have switched from a three meals a day to two meals a day. It was very hard at first and I would get night cravings. At times I would give in and eat a mid-night snack. Eventually those craving disappeared and two meals per day is more than adequate to sustain me. I have to admit, I did lose 10 pounds, I wasn't trying to lose weight. I just got tired of failing to eat a healthy breakfast. Usually for me breakfast consist of a pop tart and coffee or sugar glazed doughnuts, McDonald's or some other junk. So I gave it up breakfast for brunch. The result, my cholesterol is down and I feel a lot better, less guilt of eating the morning grunge. Anyone else try a two meal or one meal a day plan? I met someone from India that said they used to eat one meal per day. Now they eat three(USA), and he is thinking of going back to the one per day. |

Although I love food, I usually eat two meals as well. I've been doing it for years now but I don't think I've lost any weight not that I was trying to though. I've been the same size for years now. Sometimes I might snack on some things here and there but for the most part its two meals. There are some days where I'll eat more than 3 meals a day but those are rare. My breakfast usually consists of oatmeal with a sliced banana [or any other fruit] or just plain oatmeal then a slice of whole grain bread. |

Same here OP. I don't necessarily watch what I eat. I eat smaller portions. I lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks without exercising lol, and still the pounds are coming off so I don't think I'll stop it. I'm more cautious of what I eat but I don't cut things out. I still eat cake, pie, cookies, all that jazz lol, but less. I also drink water and water only. I think that has also helped. Even after sleeping only 2 or 3 hours, I have energy |

ogugua88, try making you own juices. I have two juicers here so I use 'em to make juice. Hmmm, everyone's losing weight except me. |

1, 2 meal(s) a day? I wish! I eat more than thrice a day. It's a new habit I find difficult to drop. |

Missy ★ B: Lmao, when I was a little kid I used to eat like crazy. My parents used to laugh when people ask them how I can eat so much and not get big. I still eat the same things, just in moderation and not in the same amount as when I was small. |

Inked_Nerd:On the contrary, until the beginning of this year, I was never a fan of food. My parents always complained. It's a wonder how the situation changed all of a suddden. I eat a lot these days. Now, my mum even complains I eat too much and at times, says I'm trying to make up for the years I ate very little. Werrin concern me? As long as I'm healthy and no flabs. snthesis:Lol. The beauty of being Missy- Eat all you want and still retain that shape. 3,4,5 times? Lemme inform you that, the day I notice a potbelly, I'll shoot you before I complain. |

Inked_Nerd: I used to make my own smoothies and juices. I like drinking them for breakfast, but I work very early in the mornings lol. I don't like waking them so I dropped that habit since When I did, I felt amazing though. The fresh fruits and veggies gave me energy |
Re: Two Meals A Day by InkedNerd(f): 6:17am On Oct 22, 2010 |
Missy ★ B: lol lol, my parents complain as well. One day its you eat too little, the next say they'll say I eat to much. I've gotten to the point where I just shrug them off. And do whatever I feel is best for my body. ogugua88: I don't make juices ad much as I did before but I do still make smoothies. I have some sittin' in the fridge right now? |
Re: Two Meals A Day by meyri: 3:26pm On Oct 22, 2010 |
I unintentionally eat one to two meals a day. I get so busy and rarely have the time to eat. And I hate to buy food outside. So I usually wait to I get home then have a meal or two depending on the time. Fortunately I walk back and forth to work wish helps me keep the weight off. |
