I can't eat breakfast

I'm with kim on this. I'm not always hungry in the morning, plus when I do eat breakfast, I'm hungry the rest of the day and end up going over on my calories. I keep it small and easy to digest so I don't get that empty stomach feeling so bad a few hours after breakfast.

I have the same problem with being hungry for the rest of the day if I eat breakfast. I used to not get hungry until 4-5 pm, I was losing a lot of weight by skipping breakfast and lunch. Since I started making myself eat breakfast not only do I get hungry fast if I don't eat it, but I am constantly hungry for the rest of the day. I usually munch on some dry cereal or an apple.

You have to make yourself learn to eat breakfast - it's a process and won't happen overnight. I used to never eat breakfast - all though high school, college and after. I started by just eating fruit or toast in the mornings. I slowly added things and now I usually eat two eggs (scrambled or fried) and some combination of fruit/veggies and occasionally bread or oatmeal. Most days I have 250-350 calories for breakfast.

Start small, make small changes and work your way up. You know breakfast is good for you and the right thing to do - so just make it happen!! I am hungrier the rest of the day when I eat breakfast, but that tells me that my metabolism is going and I overall I feel better when I get 3 square meals a day plus healthy snacks.

I dont like eating breakfast either. sometimes i can but mainly i just cann't face it.so i have my breakfast at 10 o'clock, or i have two biscuits with my morning coffee. I leave the packet in the kitchen and only take two out. I cann't be bothered with expensive diet breakfast bars they are often high in suger and low in taste. a few hob nobs a few times a week and i've still been losing a bit of weight. my short-term goals not that high but longterm i hope to lose the weight i've put on over years.

I get nauseated and usually vomit if I eat breakfast but I can hold liquids so I blend a slim fast with ice (to add to the volume) and drink it over a half hour to an hour in the morning. I get 200 calories for breakfast, lots of nutrients and I don't hork. (watch sugar the rest of the day though cause it's high in that)

I was at my thinnest weight when I didn't eat breakfast. A lot of people don't eat breakfast and manage to lose weight and maintain the loss just fine.

I say if you're not hungry, don't eat.

Its not about losing weight all the time,its also about health..so saying if your not hungry,dont eat is somewhat irresponsible..NOT eating is never the answer to healthy eating habits or weight loss

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
