Can we skip dinner to shave off unwanted weight? I'm about 176, 66KG. I intend to skip dinner so that i could shave off some weight. I'm quite busy with work, family, and girlfriend, so I don't really have time for exercise. Even if i do have time, i'm extremely tired. Is there any side-effect from skipping dinner? Is this method effective? I dont have appetite too lately, from stress. Or should i try a non-carb diet? My sis told me it's really effective, just stick to protein and vegetables. How about laxatives? Are they effective? I mean taking laxatives so that will have diarrhoea.

I see, thanks. The best option is to go for the non-carb diet? but my sis said that i cant do exercise if im going non-carb. Maybe some light exercise. Skipping dinner or any meal is definitely a no-no? Hmm, regarding the non-carb diet, should i avoid sugary or fatty food as well?

Well, actually when I'm awake......I still eat.
Like every 3-4 hours, I eat eat eat...
Eating spikes ur metabolism remember?
After dinner, avoid carbo though. No rice, no bread, but milk is okay.

Nutrient timing. DO NOT LAY OFF CARBS, do not skip breakfast and try not to skip lunch! Your brain needs carbs to function. Consume the majority of your caloric intake early in the day, from morning to midafternoon, taper it down later in the day.
You can actually hardwire your metabolism if you do it right. Go for low GI carbs in the morning like oats (instant or quick cooking). Stay off shit like nasi lemak for breakfast.

You don't have to do anything drastic to lose weight. Small, simple changes to your lifestyle will do. Don't try to lose 10 kgs in a week, ridiculous. Aim small, miss small. Everything doesn't happen instantly. An overzealous method will result in a 99% failure rate in the long run.

Good luck!

What food should i eat and when should i eat? I see, high carbs in the morning and gradually decrease carb intakes throughout the day? Hmm, i'm not aiming to lose weight actually, just to slim down. Light, repetitive excercise will help alot i think.
