    Here is the proof! Ever since breakfast was invented in 1970 people have kept getting fatter. Just look at the chart. You can't argue with a sciency chart.

    Nobody skips breakfast. It means "breaking the fast", and no matter what time you eat your first meal of the day - it's breakfast.

    I disagree which that statement as I started eating breakfast and yes I will state a healthy one and gained weight. Since I quit forcing myself to eat the suggested healthy breakfast I have lost 4 pound.
    Everyone is different and it would appear I am one of those people who eat breakfast every day packs on the weight. I do not eat any kind of junk food for breakfast...never have never will.

    Check my food diary and tell me my brekkies aren't (mostly) healthy. It's all about choices, baby.

    Except weekends. They often include bacon.

    What's bad about bacon? I eat it all the time. The type we buy is only 80 cals/2 slices. IIFYM, friend!

    ^^ I'm sure you're right. I was teasing. I thought it was pretty funny, considering this whole troll thread.


    Anyone who claims that they fast without ever breaking it is either confused, a liar, or on death's door. :laugh: :tongue:

    LOL @ this post.... "what i do is better than what you do"

    If you like breakfast, eat breakfast...if you don't, don't... I don't see the problem. I like breakfast. I'll eat breakfast.

    Total calories for the day for me = All meals not labeled breakfast + the one I label breakfast.

    Total calories for the day for you = all meals not labeled breakfast.

    Its just math...

    like every meal.... are people eating "heed-lessly" ? Joe pancake, cinnamon rolls with high sugar mochas? Or are they making "mindful choices" and everyone knows what they are.

    It is a matter of self discipline and making a healthy choice. We have been well educated and certainly have access to good information in every part of popular media related to nutrition, obesity and diabetes.

    So.... here is my take... put on the big boy pants or big girl panties and do the right thing.

    Your common sense is clearly not needed here, OP already has all the answers...

    Hahaha sorry this made me laugh....as everyone puts obesity is not based on breakfast. I got fat cause of all the toxins/crap and bad food that were thousands of calories. I gained weight for not making healthy choices. I hate breakfast, and didn't eat breakfast EVER. I would eat twice a day and because of my poor options I put myself in a horrible state, gaining so much weight. Now that I eat a healthy amount of calories, clean food, and a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner...I lose a good 2 pounds a week with exercise included. We are 'fat' because in a way we all chose to be. Because we all chose what to consume!

    hmmm I guess my brian stopped working six months ago when I stopped eating breakfast then..?

    Not breaking your fast will lead to death. Yes, you eat breakfast. Don't claim otherwise. You may eat it in the afternoon or evening, but you break it, eventually. Neither you, nor your friend Brian would be able to go very long without eating something. :wink:

    who is Brian?

    and I prefer the term first noon day meal to breakfast or break fast....

    You can call your first meal of the day whatever you want to call it, honey, but it's still breaking your fast from the previous night. That is fact.

    I see the semantical pendants have entered the arena while I was at the gym!! Yaaay!!

    you could be right..old Joe Pancake is housing down waffles, hashbrowns, sausage, bacon, and a half loaf of toast...maybe that is it...???
    theres no maybe about it, eat that every day and you will be huge, and its got nothing to do with breakfast at all, there are loads of healthy options for breakfast. I was skipping breakfast for months, and i was fine, but didnt really lose any more weight because of it. It not the time your eating, its what you eat.

    Eat crap and you will become fat, huge portions and you will become fat, sit on your *kitten* all day and you. will. get ,fat.

    Kelloggs disrespected Michael Phelps. That's the real reason that your friend Brian quit working 6 months ago. He has been staging a sit-in at their corporate HQ all this time. I didn't want to tell you before...

    Not eating breakfast completely screws up my day and always has done.
    The thing is, when you eat something crap for breakfast then yes, it's not going to aid with dieting.
    But if you eat something like a low fat cereal, a slice of toast, fruit, etc. then it's a perfectly healthy addition to your food that day.
    To be honest I would say you SHOULD eat breakfast if you can make good food choices and if you can't help but have pancakes or some other kind of ridiculous breakfast, then skip it.

    Also,
    2/3's of americans are obese

    This is because the food in America is awful and everyone cooks with far too much butter/oils.
    Over here in Europe we eat breakfasts... in some countries we eat huge breakfasts and we don't have the same obesity problems.
    It's down to food choices, not what time you eat or what you call that meal.

    Phelps is just a propagandist that the conformist breakfast borg shovels down our throats to to try and make us eat more of their crap....
  • hmm so far I have been called stupid, arrogant, ignorant, etc...you breakfast defenders sure are serious people...Do some of you work for Kellogg's perhaps?

    obviously he posted something that caught peoples interest because a lot of people clicked it, read it, and commented on it.. people are allowed to have an opinion thats not the same as yours that doesn't mean they are stupid, or think that think they are better than you.. having an individual idea that disagrees with something you've been told is "good" for you and questioning why is it good for me instead of just accepting it for no reason is a sign of intelligence.. that being said, i do think all of these people secretly work for kellogs..

    well our cooks may be awful..but at least our woman shave their armpits and all of use deodorant ....

    Dude, I am from England. We all use deodorant and shave all our body hair... much the same as the rest of European women.
    I think the reason people are calling you names is because you are behaving as such.
    Don't ask for opinions on things to then start insulting everyone and being so narrow minded. I can't believe you are that uneducated you would make an assumption about an entire continent like that.

    Having travelled Europe extensively, I would say it has nothing to do with the butter/oils. In Europe, as in most of the non US world, the portion size is more reasonable. Not a lot of supersizing.

    I have also travelled Europe extensively and lived in many homes throughout the different countries and I can tell you it has a lot to do with not cooking with as much butter/oils. I also agree with you on portion sizes, we tend to get much smaller portions and there isn't the whole supersizing craze in restaurants. We have it but they are few and far between.

    hmmm interesting because you said that EVERYONE in america cooks with too much butter/oils...You did the exact same thing that I did, yet you criticize me????? you also said all the food in america is awful? So you just made two assumption about an entire country...

    For the record I do not cook with butters/oils....and I pretty much eat clean everyday...

    and I have been to Paris and Italy and they definitely need to man up on the deodorant.

    it is a historical fact that there was no breakfast or obese people prior to 1950. It is in all the history books...
