breakfast...the most unhealthiest meal of the day..

Well if it bothers you so much why do keep coming back to this thread?? And no kidding people who have diabetes or hypoglycemia have to manage thier intake. Do you really think stating that consitutes "well spoken and informative posts". Do you really think that people generally don't know that. Maybe you should let others be the judge of whether your posts are so well spoken and informative.

PS: Don't hurt your arm there while patting yourself on the back!

What I've said before had nothing to do with blood sugar issues :huh: As I said, that post was in response to what other people had already been saying in regards to that issue. I'm not the only one who's spoken to that subject. Have you jumped on everyone else who has brought it up? You jumped on me calling me "butthurt" for speaking about something which others were already speaking about, yet just from another angle (the hypoglycemic one instead of the diabetic one) and I simply wanted to say that I wasn't just pouncing in here "all butthurt" like you declared me to be. That I was already discussing this thread prior to that post. Perhaps you should just relax.

They say this because they are thinking of the people who skip breakfast and then binge all day because they feel like it's okay or just have bad eating habits. Not people who skip breakfast and do everything else right the rest of the day. IMO

Avoid the "IHOP version" of breakfast, and make healthy choices, and breakfast is fine. I recommend beef jerky. :laugh:

I always heard breakfast was the most important meal of the day.... I've never heard "breakfast is the healthiest meal of the day"

Lol, I'm very relaxed there sweetcheeks. Maybe you should take your own advice? :drinker:

Huge difference between "Healthiest" and "Most Important". Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You need to nourish your body just shortly after you wake. You even touched on it briefly on your first post of why Breakfast is important. And yes, be smart about what your are consuming. Don't go to Waffle House or IHOP and order pancakes and huge Omelets. Research has also found a cup of black coffee and boost your metabolism as well.

I don't think breakfast has anything to do with being fat. I think over-eating does. It doesn't matter what time of day you eat, if you eat too much, you gain weight. It's simple, really. I never used to eat breakfast until I started to lose weight, then I started eating 3 decent meals a day, now I can't start my day without my normal coffee and breakfast.

I don't eat breakfast, not till I started losing weight. Like NEVER had before...... so explain to me why I was obese WITHOUT eating it?

You consumed more calories than your body used.

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.

There is is on the chart. Proof postive!!

Try plotting the same for obesity and use of mobile phones. Or maybe use of synthetic fabrics? I also recommend plotting the previously suggested people with out without shoes and obese people. If it is a graph it must be science, proven and true.....

crap - looks like i missed out on a winner of a thread...

i would have been very useful here.

I like how you think...feel free to jump in at anytime LOL

People who eat unhealthy breakfasts (pancakes, waffles, bacon, hash browns, fat on top of fat on top of fat, etc, etc, etc) tend to be overweight

People who eat healthy breakfasts (oats, egg whites, shakes, whatever) tend to be healthier

The act of eating breakfast by itself has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a person is fat.

/end thread.

Yeah, it's not and you don't. If you believe your statement is true, feel free to back it up with peer reviewed research.

edited to add: You actually see metabolism increase for about 48 hours in a fasting state. Beyond 72 hours is when adaptive thermogenesis can begin.

The body's metabolic adaptations begin after 4 hours, but it's not metabolic shut-down that people are led to believe it is. Your body is designed to make adjustments- that doesn't mean that it's using less energy, just sourcing it differently.

4 hour post-prandial (after eating): primary glucose source is exogenous (dietary).
Around the four hour mark after eating glycogen stores become the primary source and shortly after gluconeogenesis begins (the creation of NEW glucose from fatty acids and other bio tissue).
At the 16 hour mark gluconeogenesis overtakes glycogen stores as the primary glucose source.
Around 48 hours glycogen stores are completely depleted, and gluconeogenesis becomes the only (but nothing in the body is 100% so take this with a grain of salt) source of glucose. This is about the point that gluconeogenesis slows as well...

Everything up until the 2 day (48 hour) mark is considered "Early Fasting".. when the metabolic conditions (described above) occur at 2 days and beyond- it's called "Intermediate Starvation" or Phase IV in glucose homeostasis. At that point, the only tissues using glucose are the brain, the renal medulla, and a small amount of muscle- the brain is sourcing its energy from both ketone bodies and glucose at this point.

Having said all that- adaptive thermogenesis is shown to occur after EXTENDED periods of EXTREME caloric deficit... WEEKS, not hours or days, of intake less than 50% of caloric needs (often less than this parameter in the research).

So... nope.. you don't need to eat breakfast.

hmmm you disappoint me...

do you work for kellogg's ??

sorry to use logic... my bad.

also lol aint nothin' kellogs makes that's good for you.

i think it depends what you eat for breakfast. stopping at ihop for all you can eat pancakes with bacon and the whole shebang isn't going to work.
i'm content with my bowl of plain oats mixed with various things like pb/syrup, unsweetened applesauce or chocolate protein powder.
to each their own.
i don't see how eating a nutritional breakfast of eggwhites with veggies or whatever your choice may be is unhealthy. check your *kitten*.
people are obese because they eat crap all day and not move around, or maybe because they have a medical problem (usually not the case), not because they eat the morning. check your *kitten* again.
