When you are trying to lose weight, skipping meals is not a good idea. A good breakfast starts your day with energy and keeps you from binging later on. Studies have shown that those who skip breakfast don’t fare as well in weight-loss endeavors. Actually, skipping any meal only makes losing weight more difficult by slowing down your metabolism.

Eating small meals more often is the key to losing weight because this is the way to keep your metabolism on an even keel. This is exactly what the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet recommends, namely, that you eat four meals per day and that you eat until satisfied but not full.
