Science Explains How to Hack Your Diet and Lose WeightIf you're looking to shed a few pounds the healthy way, this video from ASAP Science is full of scientifically proven suggestions that don't require crazy diets or special meals: just common sense and moderation. We've mentioned that nutrition is an individual science and you should make sensible changes that make sense for you, but the suggestions here look solid for most people. They cover eating from smaller plates to the benefits of adding protein to your diet to squelch appetite (protein is rich in Peptide YY, or PYY, which is an appetite suppressant. Adding even a little more protein to your meal can make you feel fuller faster.)
Of course, the video's tips aren't foolproof, but they're a good start if you're looking for ways to help manage your portions and eat sensibly without falling for a fad diet. Check the video description at the link below to read some of the studies the tips are based on. The soup trick—that soups and stews are absorbed slowly and keep you feeling full longer—is a great trick that I didn't know. One important note though—any weight management regimen starts the way the video does: with exercise.
Having breakfast or not may not make much difference as far as fat loss is concerned but I know that from a health viewpoint you certainly feel better throughout the day when you've had breakfast.
Whatever or whenever you have in your first meal of the day dictates how well your going to function daily.
I break my fast at around 9:00 daily followed by my 9:30 daily dropping the kids of at the pool.
Tried fasting till lunchtime recently but found I wasn't able to concentrate as well as I would after eating breakfast. I hate having to eat breakfast but I know I'll function better if I do.
I just tried 16/8 IF, now 18/6 fast.
I was against it for so long but I think theres nothing wrong with a 2pm breakfast.
i was shocked at actaully how much 1500 or even 100 worth of good food is.
one night i ended up eating clost to half a kilo of chicken thighs, 200G of sweet mash- Salad with olive oil for some extra fats
That was a struggle and came to around 780 cals.
then again- I could put 2000 + cals of mickey d's away in no time and still be hungry within the hour

It depends what good foods you are talking about.
Eat some nuts, fatty meats, avocado ect, are all good foods that add up the calories really quick. Add olive oil to a salad. Even grapes, I can easily eat, 500+ calories of grapes alone in one go.
Sure it's hard to eat a few thousand calories of chicken breast and salad but the are many more good foods than that.
I have skipped breakfast for months and never felt better, always felt shit after eating breakfast and because I'm in a sedentry job now, I have to limit my cals, and I love being able to smash 2 big meals for the day...Can easily make up 2000+ cals for dinner
