The author of this book, Tricia Cunningham, was able to lose 172 pounds in 9 months by simply switching dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.
Book is written with assistance of a nutritionist Heidi Skolnik to detail a lifestyle that involves having a larger meal at the beginning of the day and then smaller meals and snacks as needed in the later part of the day.
This diet claims that by switching the majority of your calories to breakfast this will significantly change the way that your body uses calories. Eating a Breakfast that is actually Dinner provides you with an entire day where you are active and buring calories, by the time you get to eating Dinner (Breakfast), you are tiresd and the lack of movement does not burn calories.
Dieters are advised to never skip breakfast and to eat a medium sized lunch and a small dinner and to only eat when hungry (apart from the mandatory breakfast). If feeling full before the end of the meal the leftovers should be saved to snack on for later.
