Anyone else crave carbs in the morning?

I try to have a bowl of oatmeal,a piece of wheat toast and fruit. Or a bagel with cream cheese. It keeps me full longer.

If you're gonna eat carbs, do it in the morning. Just make sure that when you crash, you don't get onto a carb roller coaster. I try to eat my carbiest foods in the morning, and more proteins in the afternoons. I did a low carb diet in the past (South Beach) and I have to admit that really, I like some carbs. I seem to do okay trying to limit them to a specific time of day, so I limit them to the morning. That way the easy carbs that raise my blood sugar are out of my system by the time I go to sleep and don't turn into fat overnight.

That's my theory but I bet my dietician friend would tell me I'm all wrong.

you can't eat carbs in the afternoon?

you cant eat carbs in the morning afternoon or night.
neither can you eat fat.
or protein

just dont eat. Sounds like the fastest way to lose weight.

If someone doesnt eat anything at all I guarantee they will lose weight

Not really. When I wake up I crave a hell of a lot of protein. Eggs and ham scramble with mushrooms is divine.

Why not eat those carbs? I've lost 2.2lbs this week, and I eat whatever I like all day!

I agree; I mean, if it's working for you, and you're generally eating a healthy diet, eat what you want for breakfast. If it leaves you feeling more satisfied throughout the morning, you'll be more likely to eat a healthy lunch (rather than getting crazy hungry and snacking or binging.)

If, however, you are trying to cut carbs for some reason, I would say include them but just go easy. I used to love having 2 big slices of toast with butter ... slowly but surely, I've gotten used to having a sandwich thin instead ... less calories and carbs. Or, I'll have cereal and milk (or almond milk) but less cereal and double the fruit. (Yes, I realize that all those foods have carbs ... but I'm guessing you're talking more about breads here?)

I know your point, however, I notice when i eat more food later at night, I end up weighing more in the morning, maybe due to the weight of the food in me undigested?? I do better when I eat my largest amount of calories around lunch time.. so there may be some point to what she/he said.

Haha I'm liking this advice...just eat your damn carbs in the morning!! No real reason why I can't, I'm just trying to cut down on carbs in general. I know that my body doesn't do well on too many carbs...I get bloated and sluggish...but I guess a slice of toast in the morning isn't going to kill me!

Thanks

I never crave carbs. I don't eat processed foods.

bahahhahahahaaa! I hope you're joking...
