I'm a Registered Nurse and discovered when I was in my late teens that if I skipped breakfast I would lose weight more rapidly than if I didn't. I also noticed that I ate less at my remaining meals. I came to the conclusion that this was because the size of my stomach had shrunk because of the decrease in the amount and consumption of food. I have never agreed with the old wives tale that if you eat a heavy supper within a couple of hours of going to sleep or have anything just prior to bed it will become fat. If that were true then why would these same housewives give their children a bedtime snack? To fatten them up? No. It was so they would supposedly sleep better through the night. You won't get fat if you eat the same amount of calories at 10pm as you would have at 6pm. Calories are calories. What matters here is your energy expenditure. Did you burn up more calories than you took in? if you did than you can count on a reduction in your weight; and if you keep it up, quite possibly in your hip size.
