I was reading this very quickly and when I first read it here is what registered:

I had to re-read it because I must have BPs on the brain! LOL.

Yum...BP snacks ;)

Lol like gummy fruits, shaped like little snakes. That would be too cute.

I mean I don't even really starve myself. I get hungry around lunch, that's it. I don't even feel hungry when I go to sleep or wake up. I can't do the 6 meals cause it just doesn't work for me.

Biologically, after you don't eat for 7 hours, your body starts to panic and go into "starvation mode", where it starts turning down your metabolism to conserve energy. When it gets in that mode the first thing it consumes is available calories (glycogen), then it goes after muscle, THEN it goes after stored fat for energy. That includes sleeping hours--which is why it's a good idea to eat within an hour of waking up.

I have a boyfriend who eats the same way you do, and he won't listen to me, either :) But I have a nutritionist and textbooks (in addition to online articles and health magazines) telling me I'm right--my boyfriend says he won't eat if he's not hungry *shrug*. We have come to the agreeing to disagree point when it comes to nutrition/frequency of meals/calorie intake.

Well, the manager at my store did the eat when hungry diet, and he lost 125 pounds in 6 months. He didn't work out but only ate when hungry.

Well, hopefully he'll still be maintaining a year or so down the road.

I don't work out and I haven't eaten breakfast in 12 years and I can knock out a horse. :eek: :D

I posted a seperate thread about it, but I wanted to tack it on here, too--in case anyone misses the other thread:

"After some thinking and toying around with things on the internet, I decided to put together a little forum dedicated specifically to the BP.Net Weightloss Challenge.

The thread for it here is getting a little cluttered, and I thought it would be nice to have a place for members to go specifically for that, where the posts can be more organized.

I cleared posting the link here with Judy, so if you want to, feel free to join in: http://bpnetwlc.editboard.com/index.htm "

A shower might fix that. ;) Seriously, some people are blessed that way. I have a freind who was like that until he hit 45 and his metabolism hit the wall for some reason.
