Comment on Skipping breakfast might help you lose weight

Comments

I researched Yokozunas and here's my findings.

They skip breakfast every single day and exercise for at least 5 hours before breakfast.

After lunch, they sleep. With plenty food and no physical activity, the body converts the food to fat. Same thing happens after dinner - sleep.

Before electricity, people ate dinner before sun down. This left enough time for some digestion and burning of excess energy.

My conclusion:

Skipping a meal is a great idea. The question is when. I've decided that the best time to skip a meal is dinner - not breakfast. Or as I tell my friends, Sleep Hungry.

Edit:

Yokozunas in Japan have perfected the art of inputting normal sized people and outputting obese people. I figured doing the exact opposite is the key to weight loss.

A more reasonable conclusion on sumo wrestler lifestyles is to to not eat more than 10000 calories a day like they do! Total caloric intake is so much more important than meal timing.

Any success?

I'm not over weight. Just a beer belly I grew from college. It's reduced a lot. The only exercises I do are 5 measely sit ups in the morning and cycling at night (if I eat late to burn up the meal before sleep.)
