The thought of eating breakfast makes me sick help!!!

I don't eat breakfast either, I am never up in time, I would much prefer an extra 20 mins in bed to be honest! It shouldn't make much difference all though they do say breakfast speeds up metabolism?

No. Tjere is little to no evidence that not eating breakfast will affect your weight loss as long as you don't compensate by eating too much for lunch. You may be interested in Intermittent Fasting, look into it!

Haven't you heard? Forcing yourself to eat is the best way to lose weight.

I always eat breakfast because I'm starving in the mornings.

However, if you don't like to; don't. It won't really affect your weight loss on that alone.

I have been on a thousand different diets and never ever ate breakfast. I am now on MFP and have been eating just one piece of italian bread with one tbsp of peanut butter and i am seeing such a difference in how i feel all day and my weight loss per week has increased. Just take a moment and make yourself do it...i really do believe it helps your metabolism speed up. Hope it works for you.

Not hungry = don't eat. (Within reason)

Some of us do better eating in the morning, others do not. I myself feel literally ill sometimes from eating in the early morning.

I drink a glass of milk in the morning, that's it, and have been doing that for years. It hasn't hindered weight loss or promoted weight gain. I think you're fine. Eat when you are hungry and within reason.

It depends on whether the lack of breakfast makes you overeat later in the day, stop by Starbucks on your way to work for a coffee loaded with calories, or grab a candy bar for an energy boost mid-morning. Only you know the answer to those questions. As for me, the Starbucks weight is gone, and the bulk of extra pounds gained from over large portions is still to go.

If you can hit your totals (calories/macros) by end of day and you feel fine skipping meals, then I'd just focus on the totals and hit them by end of day whether that's with breakfast or not. Let personal preference and adherence drive this decision.

The effects on your metabolism are negligible.

You don't have to eat breakfast. You may find as you start exercising more or increasing your activity that you could become hungrier earlier in the day than you do now and if that happens, you may want to adjust your eating schedule.

I LOVE breakfast and I LOVE breakfast foods, but that's besides the point. I've noticed that when I skip breakfast, I'm usually starving by lunch time and I tend to want to eat more. I don't have time to actually cook breakfast every morning, so I'll just have instant oatmeal or milk and cereal. Something quick.

I have never been a breakfast eater. Will it affect my weightloss if I dont eat breakfast??? Thanks

It does not matter when you eat. Part of why we all got fat in the first place was listening to everyone tell us when to eat and what to eat. Just whatever you need to do to keep in a calorie budget. All the myths about metabolism and starvation mode are just that, myths. All you need to do is think about calories for the day, or even for the week, you don't have to eat the same amount every day, you can have some low calorie days and some higher calorie days. Think of it like a weekly calorie budget and do whatever you want.

Now that I've lost the weight I'm never going to listen to others tell me when or what to eat. I OWN IT. I own this body, not anyone else, and I will only eat when I decide, and not eat when I decide.

I lost weight by stopping eating every day at 7pm, 5pm, then 3pm only because I realized I had enough calories for the day. But it does not matter when you eat or not eat. Then a couple times a week I skipped breakfast, or dinner, or both, and at all 3 meals the other days, or some days skipped what ever meal I felt like. It doesn't matter. And my doctor checked my hormones throughout the process, from obese down to 10% body fat. My DXA scan proved I didn't lose lean body mass or go into starvation mode, but I knew this by how I felt at the gym, strong and stronger and feeling awesome.

Even if intermittent fasting does not appeal to you this article has great information debunking the myths of eating --> http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debunked.html

I know I concentrate better at work if I have breakfast, though some days it can be something simple like a cereal bar on the go. I doubt it will hinder your weightloss if you don't eat until a bit later in the day, it's up to you!

Eating breaky is your most important meal of the day its what kick starts your metabolism and yes it will effect your weight loss so suck it up and eat Breakfast ! You should be eating every 3 hours during the day so 5-6 small meals a day.. wanna lose weight eat properly

Please, breakfast does not kick start your metabolism. And you do not have to eat 5-6 times a day to eat well and lose weight. If this works for you then absolutely great but don't band it about as the only way to do it as it's not the only way and really doesn't suit some people.
