What meal to skip for weight loss?

I'm trying to lose some weight, and a friend suggested skipping a meal, but I'm not sure if that's healthy or which meal to choose. If I were to skip a meal for weight loss, which one would be the most effective or least harmful?

My doctor actually explained that skipping meals isn't the best strategy because it can slow down your metabolism and lead to overeating later. She suggested focusing more on portion control and balanced meals. A good protein-rich breakfast and lighter dinner helped me.

Most health experts advise against skipping meals. It can mess with your blood sugar and energy levels. It's better to consult a dietician or doctor who can give a personalized plan based on your body and lifestyle.

Hello! Many people try to skip dinner, thinking it helps, but it often backfires. My suggestion is to have all three meals, just make them smaller and healthier. Add more veggies and lean protein. Consistency is key, not deprivation.

Oh, I totally used to think skipping dinner would help, but then I'd be starving at midnight and eat more! It’s so confusing sometimes. Maybe focus on *what* you eat rather than *if* you eat, no? Don't stress too much, we'll figure it out.

Yaar, skipping meals makes me tired and unproductive, and then I just snack on junk, which is more expensive! Focus on cheap, healthy options like dal-roti, sabzi, salads. No need for fancy diet plans if you plan your meals smart.

Girl, same dilemma! I tried skipping breakfast once and felt so drained by lunchtime. Now I just make sure my meals are balanced and have lots of fiber. Dinner is usually lighter, like a bowl of soup or salad. It feels more sustainable.
