Essentially, this just means I would be cutting out dinner only from my diet. I would still be able to drink water etc.

i think it really depends if you eat enough during the day and do you think this is a realistic diet you can do for the rest of your life? I don't bother with diets that I can't make a life long commitment to.

Eat 5 small meals throughout the day, which is much healthier than skipping any meals. Have a couple of crackers or a couple of bezels with your water, which is better than nothing.

You will actually lose more weight if you have the average amount of calories each day but eat it all in 10 different meals.
Snacking throughout the day speeds up the metabolism plus it puts less strain on it from eating a large meal.

It helps greatly to lose weight if you don't eat 3 hours befor you go to sleep, because this way you will burn more calories during rest and will be less hungry. Don't overexaggerate it too much! Make it so that it is 3 hours before your usual bedtime.. if you go to bed at 7, then the 4:00 plan will deffinately work for you! =P
good luck with losing weight!
OMG..it's tuff.

as long as you don't gorge during the day in anticipation of your dinner fast. Also keep a low fat with a moderate amount of calories daily i don't see a major problem. BUT you shouldn't have to do this because the major problem with doing this is when you finally do eat at night you will over eat. Keep it at 2000 calories less daily and you should be fine. If you can keep it less than 2000 calories than it really doesn't matter when you eat.

no its not healthy. It would be better to eat your diner as a light meal, like a salad or something, but just cut back the calories. Also more small meals are better then 3 large ones and try reducing your calorie intact by 10 to 15% overall. This will help you lose weight safely

I think that you should at least eat something, like an apple or something.

eat as usual as u want but just eat less n good nuitrition.be aware of the gastric in ur stomach.take care.

probably will fail. you will get hungry and irritable around 8pm.

Im not a doctor...
But everything I have read... calories go in they have to go out. Yes your body slows down at night. The metabolism is less. But in reality you eat 2000 calories at midnight or 2000 before 4pm. The body has to get rid of them either way.
Im pretty sure it doesnt matter what time you eat them.
Its never been proven that if you eat before bed you will gain weight. Calories are calories take them in, get rid of them. Time isnt an issue.

i do that too...if i have some occasion coming up....but if i get hungry i have tea or a glass of milk...it helps

I now eat din around 4:30 p.m. and HAVE LOST weight!!! Just remember that you will get cravings later, so make sure you take something to stop cravings.

I don't think anything is wrong with it as long as you've had your daily caloric intake and the nutritions which your body needs . It also depends on how early you wake up and what time you'll be going to sleep. The key is not to deprive your body of what it needs. If you deprive it then you'll be more likely to crash and not be able to keep up with this or any diet plan on a long term basis.

It's not really going to be the most effective diet.
I mean think about it. If you go eat a 900 calorie breakfast burrito from mcdonalds or someplace for breakfast and then go have a 500 calorie hot dog with a 300 calorie bag of chips and maybe a few hundred calories worth of snacks, cutting out dinner won't do a thing.
Now if you have maybe a hard boiled egg and some fruit and glass of fat free milk for breakfast, a grilled chicken salad with vinegrette dressing for lunch or something healty like that, it will work. But if you do that then you might as well eat a healthy dinner too.
Cutting out a meal from your diet isn't really a good way to lose weight.

And of course you can drink water. In fact, you are supposed to drink a lot of water when you are dieting. Soda is a no. Fat free milk is a yes (i mean like 2 or 3 glasses a day though). Juices are a no actually since they usually have a high sugar content. Alcohol is a no too (sorry : ) since it has sugar and carbs and could also make you not care about your diet as much.

substitute your dinner with vege only meal. Don't cut out your dinner!!!

I would not suggest that plan. It is good to not eat after a certain time at night, but I doubt you go to bed early enough for 4PM to be the appropriate cut off time. You will likely end up starving right before bed time and binging, which will have negative results because eating right before bed is not a good idea and when you are hungry you will eat more. It will also damage your metabolism if you don't keep a steady pace in your diet because your body will think it is starving and hold on to calories instead of burn them.

nop. how about no snack between lunch and breakfast, and have dinner. remember to pack your diets with fruits, they'll never make you fat.(don't diss me with avocadoes.)

not healthy, your body will try to put on fat to last the night
its generally not good to starve yourself for 15 hours, you'll be hungrier

You should stop eating only 3 hours before going to sleep. Otherwise your body will think you're starving and hold onto every ounce of fat you have. Better to eat smaller meals often, the most food in the morning and the least as your last meal in the evening.

This not healthy.
Who the **** gave me a thumbs down??? just because you want to be anorexic doesn't mean that you can give me a ******* thumbs down!

NO this can be bad and can actually create metabolism problems. Instead of just not eating have a smaller lunch ad a smaller dinner. But don't just not eat.
