Don't go on those strictly no eating diets.  And especially always eat three meals a day.  Yes, I said that.  It's healthier to eat three meals a day even if they're small than skipping a meal, like lunch or breakfast.  The reason is is becuase sooner or later, you'll be hungry and then snack on stuff like chips.  If you are hungry, eat fruit or drink milk or even eat yogurt!  Don't drink diet drinks either.  They are worse than the regular sodas.  Just drink water, some juice and some tea.  Just don't hurt yourself on dieting the wrong way.  Just cut down calories, excersize more and get plenty of sleep.  I hope you lose as much you want, just do it safely.  You'll bloom into a more beautiful you!

You should increase your meals from 3 to 5 small meals to increase your metabolism, and exercise regularly.

I know this probably sounds crazy, but eat more often. No not big meals. Studies have shown that instead of eating 3 big meals a day, you can eat 6 small meals and you'll lose more weight because it helps boost your metabolism. Having good metabolism makes dailey activities burn more calories. Hope this helps and good luck.

A lot of it depends on what you're eating.  Eat dinner at a reasonable hour, and eat modest meals and healthy snacks in between while keeping up an exercise routine.\n\nMost dieticians say that eating 5 small meals per day is better than eating 3 large ones.  \n\nDon't starve yourself - just exercise and eat right.  The weight won't come off overnight, but those small changes in your lifestyle will pay off in the long run.  You'll be healthier, even if the weight doesn't immediately drop off.

Normally 86,400 to 115,200 times per day.  But it is variable due to various factors like age, sex stature , activity, emotions etc. etc.

You can try eating 7 times a day in very small portions. Say every 3 hours or so and it shouldn't matter what you eat. This way your body uses everything it needs from what you've eaten. There will be nothing left to turn into body fat as with eating 3 larger meals a day. Drink plenty of water in between. Good luck.

Because you have made up for it by eating 2 large pizzas 3 times a day.\n\nYou have provided so little information that no one (even a nutritionist) could give you an educated answer. Maybe some additional details would help...

Having several smaller meals does not mean that they have to be less nutritious than having 2 or 3 larger meals. Personally I prefer the smaller meals because eating every couple of hours prevents you from getting too hungry and eating more than you need.

I don't know if they diet works on its own, but it will work in combination with other healthy practices (eating smaller portions and exercise!) The three apple a day diet works on the premise that if you consume an apple before each meal you will filling youself with something that is healthy and low in fat and in turn eat less during your meal.  Apples are also natural diuretics, so it may help to keep you regular- but three probably wouldnt have too much of an impact on your system. Apples are very healthy and having having three a day would be completely safe!

I also eat only one meal per day. I see to it that I get a big breakfast in (usually a big bowl of cereal), and that usually keeps me full until mid-afternoon. Then, I eat an apple or some oatmeal, and I'm fine until the evening. I believe in only eating when hunger strikes, and this has been a very good method to lose weight (although it wasn't my intention).\n\nSome people say that you're supposed to eat every 3 hours to keep your metabolism running, but I just don't believe in that. I've tried that, and I actually put on weight. So, I agree with you that one meal a day can completely suffice. Everyone needs to find their own eating pattern, and I guess this system of eating once a day works very well for both of us! I also feel that I have more energy and that my nutrition has shifted in the healthy direction. I also feel that I can enjoy food more because by the time I eat, I've worked up a full appetite. \n\nIf this way of eating is best for you, then don't let anyone tell you it's not. People have also been telling me that the way I eat isn't healthy, but I just don't see the point of stuffing myself with food when I'm not hungry! I'm at a normal weight and am keeping my weight ever since I started eating like that. Also, you're right in saying that eating larger meals throughout the day just weighs the body down and makes you feel tired. This is also one of the reasons why I refrain from eating large meals in the daytime.

Average is once or twice per day.  Some healthy people go every other day or up to 5-6 times in one day.  There is a wide range.  Anything outside of that you should probably talk to a doctor to make sure you're healthy.

Rule One: Do not eat before you are hungry.\n\nRule Two: Allow for at least 3 hours before sleep to eat \n\nRule Three: Who says we should eat three meals, one of which is dinner? Some say that smaller portions of foods 5 times daily are better.\n\nRule Four: You need to do what is best foryou and your family\n\n(this is different if you have small children involved who need more regular eating)
