I can't eat breakfast

Beebee78

If you want to incorporate it into your day then I would try small things and build it up gradually. xxx

Try a low calorie protein powder. I just mix it with 8 oz. of water and take my vitamins with that. It'll be easier on your stomach to take the vitamins with some substance rather than just water. I take ISO FLEX whey protein powder. It's light and mild and delicious. Your body will aclimate if you stay consistant

totally get where you're coming from on this. I don't usually eat breakfast until I get to work. that's an hour or two after waking up. then I have some oatmeal or cottage cheese. my advice...don't force yourself to eat if you feel sick, but maybe try to eat a little sooner than lunch time even if it's not very much.

I struggle with breakfast until I've been up an hour or so. Once I've woken up properly though I'm starving. When I was working I got up at half 5 and was eating breakfast around 7 when I got to work. Now I'm getting up around half 10 and eating breakfast around 12.

eating breakfast will not make or break your weight loss, nor will it make or break your health. there are some pretty good reasons to do it, but if you seriously can't stomach it, then don't.

instead of water to take your vitamin, try milk, juice or a spoonful of yogurt. or nibble on one saltine cracker after it goes down.

try getting up 20 minutes early and exercising on an empty stomach. it will 'jumpstart' your metabolism just like eating breakfast would. plus, you might become thirsty or hungry from the exercise.

it is not practical to force yourself into eating something only to puke it back up each morning. talk about counterproductive. i have been there (when i was pregnant with my boys) and my doctor's advice was to skip it, but try to eat something small within 3 hours of waking up. by then my stomach would be a little more calm and i was hungry for a string cheese, slice of bacon or fruit.

Drink a protein shake. I recommend BSN Lean Dessert. www.bodybuilding.com

My opinion... if you have a healthy metabolism, you couldn't go 14 hours without food and not feel hungry at least SOMETIMES before lunch! If not right when you wake up, I would think within a couple of hours. Especially, if you are someone that exercises regularly. There's a point where your body gets used to not eating enough and/or not frequently enough and it adapts. That's why people can survive severe periods of famine, etc. Slowing the metabolism and getting used to going for long periods of time without eating can cause loss of the body’s natural mechanisms for regulating hunger and fullness; even an aversion to food.

There is another school of thought that says delay your first meal. It's supposed to burn fat instead of what you've eaten for breakfast. I dont eat my first meal until about 4 hours after I wake up. I do have tea and milk/xylitol and I work out within that time. Once I've worked out, I'm starved!

Eating breakfast doesnt mean eating it straight away, just try not to skip the meal althogether

Pushing back all my meals for the day means I'm never hungry either! :bigsmile:

good luck :flowerforyou:

Trust me! I know how you feel. I'm in the same dumb boat you are. I'm starting by drinking a cup of hot cocoa and like and apple. Or even if you start by nippling on a banana after about 30 min. after waking up. Or if the fruit makes you sick try nibbling on cracker or a piece of dry toast. Start small and it's all in baby steps.

I can't eat in the AM's either, especially on the mornings I have to be up and out by 7 or 8 am. On those mornings I try to mix an instant breakfast in with my coffee, not sure that it counts, but i figure the extra vitamins and proteins are good.
On the mornings that I don't have to leave till later, I will try to eat an apple...some mornings though like this past weekend I woke up starving and ate alot. I just go by what my body tells me.

I can't eat breakfast, can't eat until I have been up at least 2-3 hours. I do occasionally eat but eight times out of ten I see it again and if it doesn't come back up i'm heaving for ages trying to keep it down. I used to attend a mother and toddler group where the smell of toast used to tempt me every week and for the 2 years I attended I was sick or honking every time. Everyone joked that I had the longest ever pregnancy!

I can however drink and this is where I tend to use slimfast.or juice with pulp. It doesnt have the same effect as solid food hitting my stomach. If you can drink in the morning then perhaps try a shake of some sort.

And before anyone jumps on me, I know slimfast isn't thought of very highly but it does a decent job when needed and I LOVE the cafe latte flavour. I'm not doing the slimfast diet, its just there when I need it which tends to be 2-3 shakes a week

If you take your multi without food, that's likely what's making you not want to eat/feel like you're going to throw up. Eat something small and take your multi and you'll feel a LOT better. I was at a point where I threw up every day for a week in the morning and I thought I was pregnant, but it was my multi abusing my stomach. Taking it with/slightly after food made a huge difference. And your supplements will be absorbed better too. Win/win!
