I agree with the view here.. This also maps to the aancient eastern saying..

Eat like a king in the morning.
Like a Minister in lunch and
Like a Beggar in dinner.

With exercise,yyour fitness is guaranteed..

somewhat on the same subject, wondering how you guys feel about meal replacements. There are many days were i have no time at all to focus on making a good meal at home and must resort to energy shakes and other supplements to keep up on good nutrition. I also eat well whenever possible, just interested in others opinions, thanks gang

Great article. I think that so many people like myself, are looking for the magic diet that will reverse years of bad eating habits in an instant. After years of unseccussful diets I realized that most of these diets lead to starvation and in turn failure. What I have found is that by allowing myself to eat more throughout the day, that I am less likely to over indulge in foods that are otherwise bad for me. When I eat more throughout the day, I don’t feel deprived and I am also more likely to pass on food that I will regret later.

Speaking from personal experience i ate my meals opposite. I ate a big breakfast with all four food groups more protein than any other, a medium lunch again lots of protein and a small dinner with more veggies than anything else. It works.
I noticed a difference. The big breakfast kept me full and gave me energy for the rest of the day. I did not get that 10 am snack craving or that 3/4 pm snack craving. I went from size 6 to size 2. Mind you I was dedicated to exercising and it took me about a year with small changes like this.

My Endocrinologist told me after a 10 year or so struggle with weight loss that I was eating too many carbohydrates so she told me to only eat 3 meals per day (I don’t have an issue with behavior when it comes to food…I eat when I’m supposed to and that’s it…if I get a little hungry in between I grab an ice cream cone from McDonalds asking them to just trim off the top significantly or I have a Jay Robb’s Protein shake with some Mocha Java from Dr. Smoothie), she told me that yes, one should always eat breakfast and that it didn’t matter when you ate during the day as long as you modified throughout the day what you were eating. She is from Pakistan; she told me that we as Americans eat entirely too much (I agree with her on that one) and that by eating 3 meals per day that should get me to lose some pounds). I started by eating an egg with some cheese and a protein shake (all adding up to around 400 calories or more…depending on what if I had the eggs or not (sometimes I just don’t want to eat that much in the morning) and then I was find until lunchtime. I usually have a protein shake in the afternoon with some dark chocolate (around 85% dark…low sugar, low carbs (around 8 grams) and then I wait till dinner when we have a light meal of salmon, veggies and later another protien drink and perhaps a salad too. That’s it people. I lost 6 pounds only by doing this though and am at a plateau. I have 45 pounds to loose. I am continuing to do this….I think I need to really raise my exercise level to 45 minutes per day on the elliptical and 20 minutes or so in the gym…time is of the essesnce here.

This makes sense to me, I’ve always had better eating days when I have a huge breakfast.

I completely agree with this article. I have always been a big advocate of eating breakfast. It is vitally important and sets the stage so the body will not rob nutrients later on, causing you to feel hungrier and eat more. Thanks for this great article.

I find it interesting that the low carb and fat group regained the weight ,what was the cause, did they stop eating low carb ? what were the circumstances?

Hmm… I used to eat big breakfasts… but by mid morning I was SO tired. I was falling asleep at university and lecturers weren’t too pleased. Now I have very small breakfasts – a grapefruit perhaps and some yoghurt….
And now I don’t get tired during the day – have a whole lot more energy, and eat my biggest meal at dinner time. Its weird perhaps, but thats what works for me!
But yeah you’re right… there is no one solution. You have to try things to see if they work for you. Every body is different and requires different things. A big breakfast may work for some but not others. There is no single solution!
