Can you lose weight by only eating one meal per day?

== == == == == == One answer One meal a day is not enough to keep a person going. After a while, the body resists, goes into starvation mode, and holds on to body fat. If you want to lose weight and avoid yo-yo dieting, you should eat small meals throughout the day. This will improve your metabolism. More input I am a Muslim. We fast in Ramadan. We wake up to have a meal before sunrise (which could be 3-4 o'clock in the morning), and don't eat all day, not even water until sunset (this can vary from 4 o'clock in winter to 9 o'clock in summer - like now). Last Ramadan started towards the end of September and lasted for one month. I lost one whole stone (14 pounds) that month from eating only one meal in the evening. Now its June, and have since put it back on because of eating burgers and crisps and chocolates and other junk. I will be started to eat one meal in the evening again tomorrow to lose the weight again. Healthy meals obviously. Exercise helps. If you burn off 800 calories during the day when you are not eating, (I do this by jumping rope for 1 hour) and have a 300-400 calories meal - which is enough to fill you up in the evening. You have burned 400 excess calories that day, which add up over a week and help the weight come off. Of course, you can burn more calories and lose more weight. More input Eating one meal per day will slow down your metabolism and eat away lean muscle mass. If you lose lean muscle instead of body fat, this will radically slow down your ability to lose weight in the future. Eating only one meal per day is also likely to encourage you eat junk food. By eating small frequent healthy meals and exercising, you will improve your metabolism and create lean muscle mass. Lean muscle in turn, further increases your metabolic rate. More input I've done both ways. I've lost weight the 'proper way' eating the 5-6 meals and working out like a fiend at the gym. As some have mentioned you will only have weight loss when you calories burned exceed calories consumed. However, recently, after five years on not exercising, I ballooned up to 225. I tried the unhealthy approach of one meal a day, using coffee as my boost during the morning and day, and eating a sensible lunch. Heck even some of the dinners were not sensible. Me being a steak fanatic, I've had some monster porterhouses. However, I did lose a lot of weight in a short time. In 30 days, I lost 35 pounds! For the most part my main exercise was brisk walking 3 miles. Some days twice. So, for someone to say one meal per day doesn't work is wrong. If you have the luxury of time and the money for a gym membership, you can do it the 'correct way' and lose the same weight over 6 months or longer. Admittedly, one day a meal is not for the weak willed. I think the big win for me was going back to the mind set I had when I worked out, that eating was a function and not to be savored and enjoyed every time. And my dinner meals are usually pretty moderate. Even try the subway thing on occasion. Also, one last note, there are some moments during the diet, when I would have a cocktail or two at night to knock out early to ease the stomach pangs. And some of the walking sessions were tough. But the body is amazing and it can adjust. Now I'm in the process of slowly upping the calories, to a maintenance phase. So far so good. No weight gain. More input Well, I was going to try only eating once a day, but thanks to the answers that said DO NOT DO IT grabbed my attention. I know when to listen, and I thank you for that. It just makes sense that the metabolism will slow down, and maybe I will get fatter. NO WAY! I only have 20 pounds to lose and I will try eating 5 to 6 meals a day, exercise, and green tea. Thanks again! More input In the long term, eating one meal per day will slow down your metabolism. This will make it much harder for you to lose weight in the future. To lose excess body fat and to increase your metabolism, eat a meal about every three waking hours (5 or 6 meals per day). You will not be eating more food; you will simply be spreading it throughout the day. Each of those five or six feedings should contain at least 15 grams of unprocessed protein (from natural sources) for a female or at least 20 grams per feeding for a male. This one change alone will speed up your metabolism and help to curb food cravings. You can do more to boost your metabolism besides eating well. For example, proper strength training will increase lean muscle. Lean muscle is your metabolic furnace that will burn extra energy (calories) 24 hours a day. Similarly, brisk walking for several miles daily will burn extra calories during and immediately after walks. ----

What is the role of carbohydrates in muscle building?

Complex carbohydrates give you the most bang for your buck when it comes to muscle building. You want to shy away from simple carbs, such as candy, cookies, and even some protein powders that are high in sugars. Your body burns carbs and calories while you exercise, so the best time to take in those complex carbs is within 20 minutes after a workout, when your metabolism is high and your body is working hard to recover. You can count on those complex carbs to give you long lasting energy, and in conjunction with protein, can aid in a healthy, and well balanced way to gain lean muscle.

What causes breathing rate to remain high after hard exercise even though effort is reduced?

Your body has a lag feature built in as far as heart rate is concerned, when you start exercising in a session it takes a certain amount of time for you to reach your optimal heart rate (most efficient). In this first phase you can be exercising at a much higher rate (power) than your heart rate is reporting because of the lag. Its like a steam train shoveling coal on the fire to go faster, it takes time for the energy to get to where it needs to go to increase the effort.

So a similar effect is true when you stop exercising intensely, your body needs to cool down/warm down again to pre exercise levels, and part of this is reducing you heavy breathing, and like heart rate, its a lag time involved, so after you stop your breathing still stays high, but gradually or quickly falls (depending on your recovery ability which is dependent on your fitness)

If you drink one pound of water and pee it out do you lose a pound?

Your output would equal your intake so there would be no net change in body weight.

If you drink ice cold water, your body will burn some calories as it warms the water up to body temperature. You would burn 175 calories if you drink one liter of ice water.

3500 calories equal one pound. So if you were to drink 20 liters of ice water, you would lose 1 pound.

How many pounds can you lose in a week by not eating?

quite honestly it depends on the person... but if you want to loose weight then you need to exersise... alot.. while weight loss products may work it is proven by me that you will, i say again will, feel more comfortable and proud that you did it by hard work ( sounds weird at first but trust me) if you dont work for it then it is not worth it.. put the work in.. A lot. Every person responds differently to a starvation diet. However, the body (when deprived of food) stores what little fat you have left and doesn't allow you to burn it. When you start eating again, your body will hold onto the fat until your diet stabalizes. Starvation diets are never good for the body, you lose muscle rather than fat and become very weak.

How does the protein diet enable one to lose weight quickly?

What is the best way to lose the last 5 lbs?

Eat three well balanced portioned meals - cut out the fatty foods. You must leave 5 hours between each meal - 4 hours is spent digesting your food and the last hour is the metabolism burning off your fat. Eating whilst this process is happening will cause the body to stop burning off the fat and in the end will store the food as fat. Drink your eight glasses of water a day, and if you feel hungry between the 5 hours - drink water. Half the time when you feel hungry it's your body craving for water as you are dehydrated. Believe me this works! I have lost 28 pounds in 2 months and I couldn't be happier!

How do aerobic and anerobic resiration differ?

Fermentation is the process of deriving energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound.[1] This is in contrast to cellular respiration, where electrons are donated to an exogenous electron acceptor, such as oxygen, via an electron transport chain. Fermentation does not necessarily have to be carried out in an anaerobic environment, however. For example, even in the presence of abundant oxygen, yeast cells greatly prefer fermentation to oxidative phosphorylation, as long as sugars are readily available for consumption.[2] Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in organisms' cells to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another.
