It depends on what dessert is. If it's fruit or something like that, then perhaps, but if it's pastries or cakes, then probably not. By skipping dinner, you are missing out on a lot of nutrients found in typical dinner foods (e.g. protein, fibre, vitamins & minerals). I would suggest eating at least a little bit of dinner and treating dessert as it is supposed to be treated... as a treat!



Once in awhile, it's fine. Maybe a couple times a month, tops!

If there is a dessert you really want, and you know you are going to treat yourself, then skipping dinner can be a way to compensate for all the extra calories. Your health won't suffer from an occasional skipped healthy dinner, but your waistline is unforgiving! Go for it!



Define "OK". Dessert is full of sugar and usually does not fill you up which means you are more likely to eat more by having just dessert rather than a balanced meal. And as pointed out before you won't have the minerals needed to be healthy.



I do. Most of us crave sweets and sometimes it's nice to indulge. I agree with the poster who said not all the time. But once in a while sure! Frankly I think it's better to do this than to consume too many calories by eating dessert and a whole big dinner.

Experience.



not if you want to be healthy.
vitamins and minerals come from a wide varity of tastful food cooked and raw
sugar foods take the B vitamins and distroy them so best to only eat diserts 2 or 3 times per week and only one serving at that.



it is perfectly okay... as long as you don't do it all of the time.



Don't make a habit of it, but once in awhile, I say go for it!



Only children do that sort of thing.



Not in my house it isn't



no
