It's been a month or two since I started my new diet (very simple, just skip breakfast) and it's still working. Even my students and old acquaintances are commenting that I look much slimmer (last year, the kids said I was chubbier). I always had these big love handles for as long as I can remembre and now there's barely any fat around my waist.
I was expecting a sudden wieght gain or some boomerang effect but that didn't happen.
Last night, just before going to sleep (when I'm at my heaviest) I weighed myself and the result was 72.1 kg. This morning, it was 71 kg. I'm 37 y.o. and 1.74m tall.
What's even more surprising (and a bit freaky!) is that I can eat anything I want during the day - incl. junk food, sweets, anything - as long as I don't have any food in the morning.
No exercise, no restrictions, just skip breakfast - that's it. I'm not saying that's a sensible thing to do but it sure works with me.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any scientific explanation for this? Is breakfast not as important as they say? This goes against every nutrition manual I know.
