Big Breakfast for Weight Loss
You may have already read, but doctors have found that in one study, people who ate about half their calories for breakfast lost, and kept off, more weight than people who followed a more traditional low carb diet.
Here’s the gist of it…
- Participants ate around 1200 calories a day
- They ate around 600 calories for breakfast
- At breakfast, they ate carbs as well as protein and fat
- For the rest of the day, they stuck with a low carb diet
These participants lost more weight than people who followed a traditional low carb diet.
One problem I see with this is the practicality. I think it would be hard to get that many calories for breakfast in a healthy way (no, donuts don’t count.) I don’t normally have time to cook in the mornings, so I’d miss having a hot meal at least once a day. Since dinner is very low calorie, it’s not going to be easy to cook for that meal.
Has anyone tried anything like this? I don’t doubt that it works, but I just don’t think it work work into my lifestyle very well.

I think most things sound good in theory. ut in reality when you are dealing with work, kids, and housework - things do not fall into place. I am not even sure for most women, 1200 calories is enough to sustain our basic bodily function. Isn’t this like like how sumo wrestlers eat? At lot in the morning and then a nap?
