[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some poster indicated eating 3 meals a day. You will not lose weight on 3 meals a day. It's not happening.

Cut out breakfast or eat only a salad for lunch ( no protein).

You need to get down to 1500 calories a day. That's 500 per meal if you are eating 3 meals.. It's not going to happen if you have a great appetite.

Skip one meal ( or eat an apple and an egg for breakfast, and then eat 2 medium sized meals.

I skip breakfast and eat lunch around 11. Then dinner around 5:30. Then I avoid the kitchen completely until bedtime. You need to get into a strict meal routine during the week and stick to it.[/quote]

It depends on how you define a meal. I eat three meals a day and I am not overweight. I have family members who are overweight because they overeat at every meal and they snack. I don't think they have any idea what is an appropriate amount of food at a meal. They are the ones who say they need to skip breakfast. [/quote]

I’m your overweight family member and I am not an idiot. I have always struggled to control my eating. It’s not because I don’t know how to count calories or make an appropriate portion. All of my diet “tricks” and schemes were to try to get around myself and my constant hunger, to keep myself under control. They worked sometimes and other times not. Now I’m on Ozempic and I can have a small portion of lasagna. I can recognize that the restaurant portion is too large and leave half on my plate without salting it or completely losing the conversation at the table. What’s different is my hormones. Not my emotions, not my knowledge of portion size, not my willpower. These drugs have really made me hear the comments people make about fat people in a new way. I wouldn’t tell a person with depression that they just don’t know how to think positively. I wouldn’t tell a child with ADHD that they just need to buckle down. I’m learning to be kinder to myself and I’m starting to hear the world around me and I think what you are is so much worse than being fat. [/quote]
