Is the milk in a cappuchino enough to break a fast, or does it need to be solid food? I wont be having one every day but wont have it at all at the beg is it does, will wait til later in day.0

There is no actual answer to that question. Try it and see what works for you.0 -

It doesn't turn my appetite on if that's what you're getting at. I know it's preferable not to do it, but I can't bear my tea without something in it. I do need caffeine earlier than I eat, so I drink two cups well before that point.

This is a personal preference kind of thing. I only eat two meals a day, at 4pm and 9pm (I keep weird hours, waking up at 930am, and I work 11-730pm) I don't usually have issues where I'm extremely hungry in the morning, but if I do get hungry I'll eat a small snack around 2pm just to tide me over until lunch.0

I changed the way I think. You never really skip breakfast you just bump it up. Breakfast- when you break your fast.0

If I skip breakfast, my appetite is on a much more even keel for the remainder of the day. It's been like this since I was a child, so I just go with it. And for reference, my day starts at 3:00 AM with a cup of coffee, with lunch (my first meal of the day) at 1:00 PM and dinner around 6:00 PM. Weekends are a bit different, but this is a typical Mon-Fri cycle for me. Experiment with your meal frequency and times, that's really the only way you'll be able to find what works for you.
I am the same way. I start at 3 AM with coffee only. I each lunch around noon and it is still a really small meal. I eat 75% of my daily calories after 5PM. If I start my day with breakfast (weekends usually) I will be eating all day and find it hard to stay within my daily limits. I just do extra exercise on the weekends to make up for it or go a little over. Lost 50 lbs so far so I guess its working for me.
Your weekends sound just like mine. The hubs likes to go to breakfast on the weekends, so I know I'll be struggling those days.0 -
I share your pain with Hasimotos! It is stupid and not very understood. I do eat breakfast, but I have to wait a full hour after taking my synthroid meds which sucks. I normally try to balance a protein, carb and fat to feel happily full. For example, today I had half a toasted mini bagel with natural peanut butter and a medium scrambled egg for breakfast. Also, I make sure to drink 8 oz of water with my meds, and another glass while I make my food to feel hydrated. However, I find that if I get a good combo going it really fuels my workouts.0

Agreed. I did it this morning and felt hunger pains way before wanting to eat, so I think this is ok for me. Cant do it too often w Hashis but I love coffee so sometimes.

Mid-morning snack baby. I sometimes have to cut it if I'm at 1500 calories instead of 1600+, but if I really wanted to, I could make it work. Something 75-100 calories really helps.0

the thing with my hashis is that i had a bad rxn to first drug, and am in between jobs/drs/hlth ins, so on nothing right now-but with many symptoms. So trying to stay extra special clean to avoid more pain. Ah, the joys of a crappy thyroid!

I am also hashimoto sufferer. I read somwhere that for us, if we skip breakfast it is going to make the thyroid work harder and cause our weight loss efforts to backfire. Wondering if any one had experienced a slowdown in weight loss when skipping breakfast.0

Nah. I need 2. Big lunch and humongous dinner.
If I eat breakfast I'm starving by 10. If I skip breakfast Im good till 12 Or later if I want.

If you're not hungry, just skip breakfast. I, on the other hand, am always ready to eat, and I'm crabby when I don't eat. Therefore, I eat breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, and an evening snack. I just try to make healthier choices. That's what works for me. Do what works for you.

I have always had a problem if I eat breakfast, it turns on the hunger signal for the day. I have no hunger until 2-3 pm so now I don't eat my first meal until then. We are all different so do whatever works for you. No reason to force breakfast on yourself if you are not hungry in the mornings... save your calories for later.0

I have tried to fall into the category of people who say "I don't eat until lunch because breakfast turns on my hunger for the day" but it's just too hard for me not to eat breakfast, when I wake up my stomach is growling and I feel ravenous. Maybe I should eat a bigger dinner to keep me full until lunch the next day? I don't know, I just hate the fact that my appetite gets really large after I eat breakfast and I think it would probably be easier if I could wait a few hours to eat my first meal of the day.0

I usually do eat breakfast, but it could be any time between 7 and 10am, whenever I'm hungry. Some (rare) days I don't eat it. Have your meals whenever you like as long as you keep to your daily (or weekly) calorie limit. Whatever works best for your energy levels, satiety, and lifestyle.0

Day one of starting my food window at noon was great. I had a cappuchino in the am but no solids n I felt like and energetic. Day 2 was today and was a little harder cause I only drank water. But the same ligh, energetic feeling was there, which is priceless with my muscle aches these days. Going to keep going n tweek it here and there but one thing is for.sure-am never forcing breakfast on myself again.0

I'm experimenting with skipping breakfast & eating my first snack around 9-12:30 depending on my first work break & then eating lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner, & a later snack.
I find if I eat breakfast then I am super hungry & usually wolf down part of my lunch on my first break & then wolf the other part down during Lunch.

Started skipping breakfast, eat a light lunch at around 12-1pm and a huge dinner 6-7pm. Realized breakfast isn't as important as people / "studies" claim to be, and since I don't do much work or move around a lot during the mornings but do during afternoon and early evenings, I eat more then. I might start having a cup of coffee and some creamer just to energize me in the mornings, but my dad disapproves with me having too much caffeine (as when I'm given too much sugar/caffeine, I get a bit TOO hyper haha).0

If you're hungry eat, if not then don't eat just make sure at the end of the day you meet your daily needs0
-
I say just depends on what your activity or lifestyle is. I wake up every morning around 5:30 for physical training, so by the time I get back it's 8:30 and I'm starving. So yes, would eat breakfast afterwards, but I try to keep it under 500 calories, since I know lunch is not that far away. On weekends though, my first meal is not till noon.0

Not really. One could eat 1 meal a day and be fine.brielizabeth2013 wrote: »You need at least three meals a day. That's important. Whether you skip breakfast or not

Intermittent Fasting works well for me when I'm cutting. When I'm bulking, I have to eat breakfast to meet my calorie requirements. It's all about the goal for me. Some people still fast when bulking, although I don't know how!0
