I've often heard that if you try to lose weight by skipping meals your body will think it's starving and somehow hold onto the weight you're trying to lose. How true is that if a normal, well fed person like me starts skipping lunch? In the end, isn't it a matter of calories in vs calories used? Is it possible to skip enough lunches that your body just accepts that as normal and doesn't think it's starving? If I increase the amount of calories I eat at breakfast or dinner by the amount I would have eaten at lunch, will I gain weight since my body will think I'm starving at lunch time? If my body thinks it's starving because I skip lunch, what's the smallest thing I can eat to get it out of that mode so it doesn't try holding onto weight, like can I trick it with a LifeSaver or a blueberry or do I have to eat a sandwich? Thanks.
