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 undecided 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 smiley

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.

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 sad

When I did, I felt amazing though. The fresh fruits and veggies gave me energy smiley

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.

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.
