If you don't want to eat it, don't. I don't.0

OK now you all make me feel older than dirt. I heard that I would have to eat at least 3 times a day, better would be 5 times a day (small portions of course). That would curb on the metabolism. Is that yesterday's news as well?
Is that my generation that came up with, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day?"

Yesterday's news0
-
I was firmly encouraged to start with breakfast at the same time every day in my diabetic classes. Are you diabetic? No? Then eat as you please then.
What typically is the first thing you eat in a day?
I eat lunch. A salad or a lean cuisine dish. A vegetable sandwich, or fish. Fruits as dessert?
No, I am not diabetic. I am fairly healthy besides being overweight and slow as a snail.0 -
@MyReflections I was as sedentary as you and now I run 5K's regularly. I was T2 diabetic but the symptoms are in remission from significant weight loss.
The trick to regaining mobility is persistence and baby steps. Exercise enough to get you puffing every day and as it gets easier, set new goals.
I am fairly confident you are fine starting your day with a salad or a Lean Cuisine. (I am assuming your lean cousins are live and inedible).2 -
Giving up breakfast was the best thing that ever happened to me...enjoy3

You can edit your settings to give meals different names.0

I think it was kellogs who coined that phrase
BTW I don't eat breakfast either.

The cereal that was literally invented to stop kids from the evils of self-pleasure? Lol1

Indeed, @eveandqsmom
"In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, the superintendent of The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan and an Adventist, used these recipes as part of a strict vegetarian regimen for his patients, which also included no alcohol, tobacco, or caffeine. The diet he imposed consisted entirely of bland foods. A follower of Sylvester Graham, the inventor of graham crackers and graham bread, Kellogg believed that spicy or sweet foods would increase passions.[2]
This idea for corn flakes began by accident when Kellogg and his younger brother, Will Keith Kellogg, left some cooked wheat to sit while they attended to some pressing matters at the sanitarium."

I hate breakfast too, I've pretty much stopped trying lol.0

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day but it's not nearly as bland as Dr. Kellogg's, LOL.0

Then...don't eat breakfast. Or...if you're hungry in the morning and don't want breakfast food then eat a sandwich. No where is it written that only breakfast foods are eaten in the morning. That would be sad because I prefer my pancakes at dinner time.2

Kellogg was a total nutjob. There's a hilarious book and then movie based on his life, The Road to Wellville. Book is much better than the movie, although the movie has Anthony Hopkins playing Kellogg.

I have never eaten breakfast, not as a child and not as an adult. I drink something, either tea or water and I am ready for the day. I am just not hungry before lunchtime.
I feel like I am wasting calories because I make myself eat breakfast now. It makes me feel tired and bloated. I don't 'care for it.
Am I the only one who doesn't like to eat breakfast?
Do I really have to include breakfast in my meal plan?
I don't care for cereals, I am not crazy for eggs and I eat fruits as snacks during the day.
Do you exercise? If so do you do it in the morning or evening? Just wondering because lately I've been hating to eat breakfast as well, seems to make me tired but I prefer to exercise in the morning and not sure if it's a good idea to work out on empty stomach.
What time do you eat lunch usually?
Not the OP but I work out in the morning without eating, it's no problem as long as I eat supper the day before. I do eat breakfast, but it's small and not until hours after working out (I work out at 5:30 AM and eat breakfast around 9:30 AM at work)
Thanks for sharing! How many calories do you eat for breakfast.. and what are you usually eating?
I also tend to work out in the morning on an empty stomach. In fact if I go running with food in my stomach it actually makes me nauseated. I'm a little different from @robininfl in that I don't eat after working out until lunch generally. I find if I work out really hard, I might have a GU or something similar (I'm a runner so it tends to be something like those gels that you can take running with you and are usually ~100 Cal).
My advice would be to just go with how your stomach feels. If you feel tired/lightheaded/nauseated after working out then maybe try eating something small and go from there to figure out how much you should eat and when.85Cardinals wrote: »Indeed, @eveandqsmom

Sounds interesting - I'm going to add that book to my list1 -
I loathe breakfast. I eat usually two, sometimes even only one meal a day. I've lost nearly 80 lbs since August. Don't like it, don't eat it. :-)2

I love that book. Should watch the movie, even if its not as good.
I also love breakfast, but went for years not eating it (didn't used to love it--started loving it when I weirdly became a morning person) with no negative effect on my weight, hunger, or health.0 -
Don't eat it then. Imagine that.0
