have you ever intentionally skipped a meal in order to loose weight or look slimmer?


-- Posted by smileee at 3:50 am on Nov. 3, 2008

yes


-- Posted by tiara at 3:50 am on Nov. 3, 2008

Yes.....when I was about 9 or 10 since then no.  The only reason I would miss a meal now is if I'm lazy and can't be bothered or I'm traveling or have no money.


-- Posted by roflfuckyou at 3:50 am on Nov. 3, 2008

yes.
as a matter of fact, i haven't eaten in a while


-- Posted by Mattie17 at 3:52 am on Nov. 3, 2008

yeah

yes i have and if you are a girl its really bad for you. i should know. because I've skipped meals and didn't eat enough, my period got out of hand. i had my period for almost a year.everyday. i would drink lemon juice to stop the flow. when my mom finally took me to the doctor, i was diagnosed with anemia.very close to leukemia  now i have to take 2 iron pills a day.i've learned my lesson

No

and anyway if you don't have regular meals your body wont know when it's next meal is so will start storing fat..

yeah :(

Nope, i have quite a stupidly fast metabolism anyway and also dannay is right.. it won't work too well anyway.


-- Posted by bloodhunter at 4:05 am on Nov. 3, 2008

No, but I am never hungry anymore.


-- Posted by blufindr at 4:45 am on Nov. 3, 2008

Yep, all the time.

Although it's more a self-preservation thing. Canteen food


-- Posted by Micus at 4:54 am on Nov. 3, 2008

I've skipped more meals than I can count.


-- Posted by rickyspeople at 8:44 am on Nov. 3, 2008

of course.

but i think that people as a species eat way too much. every other living thing on the planet eats for survival, not for pleasure and gluttony like we do.
it's not a BAD thing if you don't get 3 square meals and a couple snacks a day. we have fat reserves for that purpose.


-- Posted by Annastasia at 3:57 am on Nov. 4, 2008

Yes, but I try to resist doing that as much as I can, and just opt for smaller, healthy meals.


-- Posted by merryberrycherry at 3:39 pm on Nov. 5, 2008

Everyday I skip breakfast and lunch. Saturdays I skip breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sunday I skip lunch.
