I've lost close to 30lbs over the past 9 months or so, and I gotta admit one of the ways I did it was by basically skipping dinner. I always hear how that's bad, but it seemed to work for me anyway.
I'm lucky in my job where I can get away with late lunches, so I wouldn't eat until like 2-2:30, and I'd ensure it was a big meal. Then I'd hit the gym after work around 5, and I just found I wasn't really hungry the rest of the evening afterwards.
I'd take that whey protein powder stuff after my workout, then maybe if I was hungry I'd have a few nuts or a granola bar, but that's about it. Is it really that bad to not have dinner?
Actually the more I think about it, it's not so much about skipping dinner for me as it was just switching around how much I ate at each meal. It's just ingrained in us that dinner is the big "feast" meal, but is it really that good to have your biggest meal of the day 3-4hrs before bed? I basically turned lunch into my "dinner", and dinner into a light snack, if anything at all. Worked for me anyway for getting in shape.
