in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I'm new to this site but been trying to get my weight under control for 10 yrs. I know what I need to how and what to eat and not eat. My problem is I eat late at night. I've tried eating breakfast and small meals throughout the day. But I'm one of those people that can't stand breakfast! I can't eat untill lunch time. I'm just never hungry till then. But then I eat all day long. Anyone have tips they can share?

    I'm the exact same way, but i'm in the process of fixing it. Personally, I force myself to have breakfast. And whenever i'm craving alittle too much throughout the day (or too late at night), I drink just enough water to feel slightly sick. I guarantee you wont want to eat after that :P

    Nothing says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. Just try to have some lean protein, some dairy, some fruit with potassium, and some fiber. So, a turkey burger on a whole wheat bun, a 6 oz cup of Fage 0% fat Greek Yogurt with some no-sugar added strawberry jam or a sliced banana stirred in would cover the bases.

    My hubby NEVER ate breakfast until he had a heart attack six years ago and had to change his lifestyle. You can learn to do it when you have no choice. You do have a choice. Do it now before you are forced to do it by heart disease.

    Save a few calories for the evening, maybe have half of your dinner at dinner time and then have some more when you feel like snacking? Also what i tend to do is if i'm feeling hungry in the evening is boil some cabbage leaves and put a bit of soy sauce on them, they're a great snack and you can eat quite alot without consuming alot of calories :)

    Im the same way Hate breakfast and rarely hungry at dinner either ...I did force myself to drink a protien shakes for a while with vitamins in the morning and that didn't last ...most of the time I don't eat until 7pm ...my time to eat is when watching tv . :smile: I find that if I eat breakfast or even dinner Im starving all day after and go way over my calories ...So I wouldn't stress about it if you losing weight and still getting you calories ...I'd just say to hell with it and do what your body wants:laugh:

    Yeah! To hell with it! Lol! I might try the protein shake idea tho! But what kind? Slimfast has too many calories I think. Ill do some research on that! Thanks everyone!
