yeah, as long as it's not breakfast. skipping breakfast can cause youu to gain more weight because your body isn't fully awake & it then has to work harder when you're trying to go through the day. but skipping lunch or dinner or even small snacks in between can help.
no! never! never ever skip meals for the purpose of losing weight. this will lead to frequent fainting. if you want to lose weight, do not reduce your diet. Just break it into more parts. for eg: if you eat 4 chapatis in lunch, have 2 chapatis in lunch and the rest 2 chapatis in evening. avoid foods with more carbohydrates and fats and especially- say NO to JUNK FOODS. Jogging early morning also helps reduce weight. and yes, eat an iodized salt sprinkled tomato early in the morning when your stomach is empty.this will surely help you lose weight.
Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose. Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up. Skipping meals will cause some weight-loss only if you don't eat large portions to make up for it. However, it isn't recommended in any case.
Here's a more rational program for losing weight:
Get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
The most important point is to avoid junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Preferably consume no added sugar, and as little added salt as possible.
Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.
Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.
Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.
Healthy nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one factor in adjusting one's food habits.

What are the health effects of skipping meals?
It isn't wise to skip meals. The reason most people willingly skip meals is to lose weight. The thing is, skipping meals to lose weight isn't necessarily going to help burn off the pounds. Why? It's because of the metabolism. When you eat, your metabolism kicks into gear. If you don't eat, it's not going to work very efficiently. Also, if you skip too many meals, breakfast especially, your metabolism may go into survival mode. Basically that's an evolutionary thing where when you don't eat, the metabolism says 'Oh Jeez, this guy isn't eating. Clearly that means there's no food available so we better do something to prevent death!' Well, what the metabolism does for that is start retaining everything. No burning off calories or fats, keeping everything in. That's not a good thing. It's better to eat five to six small meals throughout the day than to blatantly skip meals. In fact, five to six small meals a day can be really beneficial for the metabolism, and have it working at its peak.
