If you are a woman with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), you may experience trouble losing weight. Changing when you eat could make a positive difference.

Why Skipping Breakfast is a Mistake

Many people skip breakfast because they are not hungry. However, breakfast kick-starts your metabolism for the day. Skipping breakfast leaves your body without the fuel it needs for the day’s activities.

To have success with PCOS weight loss, eat breakfast. If you have time pressure in the mornings, prepare your breakfast the night before.

Timing Meals and How it Affects Weight Loss

When you eat matters. For example, if you eat late in the day, you will probably not awaken feeling hungry and will therefore be more tempted to skip breakfast.

You might think that if you are following basic weight loss rules that work for most folks (who don’t have PCOS), that you will have success regardless of when your calories are consumed. But consuming those calories late in the day will instead sabotage your efforts.

Throughout the day your metabolism changes. By eating breakfast, you can give your metabolism a boost early in the day so that your body is more likely to burn the calories you consume. However, late in the day the body enters fat storage mode, so calories consumed later are more likely to turn into fat.

In addition to increasing the chances of your calories being converted to fat, eating late in the day can increase your risk of the following illnesses and diseases: heartburn, Type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, sleep apnea and morbid obesity.

Avoiding Late-Night Snacking

To supercharge your weight-loss success, eat your final meal at least four hours before bedtime.

Make sure your dinner is rich in fiber, because it’s filling and satisfying. Emphasize vegetables, like a salad or steamed vegetables, and eat them with a hearty protein.

If you have hunger pangs between dinner and bed, try some hot or iced herbal tea: something fun, festive, but not packed with calories. Decaffeinated green tea is a good choice, because green tea helps with appetite control. Mint tea is rich in flavor and a good choice too.

Don’t give in to the urge to have chips or other carbohydrates, which are likely to be converted directly into fat late in the day.

What Are Ideal Meal Times?

Eat your breakfast within an hour of getting up to give yourself energy and reset your metabolism. If necessary, a small mid-morning snack is fine.

Have lunch four to five hours later, about mid-day. Make this the most calorie dense meal of the day.

Eat your dinner three hours to five hours before bedtime. This gives your digestive system time to process your meal and burn your food for energy rather than converting it to fat.

If your schedule makes this timing difficult, work out a plan. It might mean taking your dinner with you so that you’re sure to be able to eat it on time. Write out a week’s worth of breakfast meal plans. Do any prep work the night before so all you need to do is put it together.

What If You Slip Up?

If you fall back into unhealthy habits, forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Then, choose to do better, to get back to the healthful habits that will deliver results. You are worth it.
