If "2 eggs for breakfast and you won't think about food again until hours later" were true, it would be the world's easiest and most effective diet: eat 2 eggs

If "2 eggs for breakfast and you won't think about food again until hours later" were true, it would be the world's easiest and most effective diet: eat 2 eggs (2x75 calories), the next time you feel hungry (afternoon), eat another 2 eggs, then have a MASSIVE 1200 calorie dinner. Total = 1500 calories for the day - substantial weight loss would be guaranteed. In practice, this doesn't work because eggs are not hugely satiating.
- monktastic1 4y agoI agree it's not true for most people -- though for someone who has trained themselves to eat a small breakfast, it surely can be. Plenty of people eat nothing for breakfast, and are satiated til lunchtime, but aren't losing weight from it. More interesting to me is why someone would phrase it as a guarantee even if it were true. It suggests that the reader likely hasn't tried it, and would be surprised to discover the result.

- mmmpop 4y ago>a MASSIVE 1200 calorie dinner Yeah no one likes your humble brags about how little you eat and feel JUST GREAT. You're probably worse for it. I'm 5'11", ~170 lbs and rather lazy right now, running ~15 miles a week and a couple light lifting sessions because I'm busy. I eat 2500 calories a day and maintain just fine. I just ate 1200 calories at dinner, no problem, so I'm going to try real hard not to feel judged by you!
