Weight loss & Skipping dinner

Skipping dinner won't guarantee weight loss. One pattern I see often is the moment someone decides to lose weight, dinner becomes the first meal they eliminate. My question is always the same - Why are we removing a meal before improving it?

If your body isn't getting enough protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals through the day, skipping dinner doesn't solve the problem. It usually shifts it. The next morning, hunger is stronger, cravings are higher, and portion sizes quietly increase. The goal is not to teach your body to survive on less but to nourish it well enough that hunger no longer controls your decisions.

There's another reason I rarely ask someone to stop eating dinner. A balanced dinner supports better sleep. And when sleep improves, your body is in a much better position to regulate appetite, recover well, and lose fat in a sustainable way. This is why I don't start weight-loss conversations with, "Which meal should we remove?"

I start with, "Which nutrients are we missing?" That one shift changes everything.
